Ktopia / André Boeing is grateful to could have contributed the conference program graphic design for TJD. The intention is, to offer a fresh perspective on the wonderful, rich, and bio diverse continent of Africa, its people, organizations, and relational connections with The Land.

Calls for sus­tain­abil­i­ty often fail when imposed from above, detached from people’s every­day lives. For cred­i­bil­i­ty and impact, actions must be ground­ed in local real­i­ties and respect cul­tur­al diver­si­ty.

The Jena Dec­la­ra­tion (TJD) calls for strate­gies that put peo­ple at the heart of trans­for­ma­tion, con­nect­ing arts, sci­ences, and sto­ry­telling to shape joy­ful and sat­is­fy­ing futures.

The TJD Online Con­fer­ence for Africa 2025 will show­case part­ners from across the con­ti­nent who demon­strate how sus­tain­abil­i­ty can be lived authen­ti­cal­ly and cred­i­bly. By shar­ing tan­gi­ble sto­ries root­ed in Africa’s diver­si­ty, the event high­lights authen­tic­i­ty and cred­i­bil­i­ty as key con­di­tions for mean­ing­ful and last­ing sus­tain­able action.

Playful & Intercontinental:
Co-Creating a Food Systems + SDGs Card Game
Games are shared cultural commons that spark joy, inspire creativity, and connect people across borders. As tools for learning and collective imagination, they can drive transformation toward sustainability.

This session presents an Africa–Europe collaboration by André (Europe) and Ibrahim (Africa) to co-develop a Food Systems +SDGs card game through open-source, grassroots practices. Highlighting narrative game worlds, open educational resources, and creative commons, they share practical tools for intercultural collaboration on tiny or zero budgets.
