July 15th 2025 by André Boeing

☀️ Free Wastemonsters- and Recycling-Mod Card Templates (A6 standard postcard format) representing real waste types and recycling methods — plus free bonus graphics and a video tutorial course on how to adapt the game cards to your context in Education for Sustainable Development and your region, using the free, open-source graphic design software Krita.

☀️ “SWA – The Great Cycle”: An interactive story for 1–3 players as an immersive introduction to the Smart Waste Agency Game (The SWAG), the World of waste types and recycling — featuring different pathways to face our global waste challenge. Also suitable for classroom settings.

☀️ Our 1-Year Summer Anniversary Edition of The SWAG, co-developed with 64 young designers aged 7–15 during the 2024 summer and autumn holiday Playshops in Germany, is out!

Thanks a lot Odin Mühlenbein, AI Tinkerer on a chosenpath.ai, for collaborating on this story and the invitation to test the AI story engine in beta — it rocks!

Thank you so much to all the young participants and youth organization partners who co-created during our holiday Playshops 2024. Our photos give a good impression of the analogue and digital skills, and the joyful, playful creation of games for a serious topic.
