We did - and after many lectures with bored or puzzled-looking students, we turned to game-based principles for help. The end result - IN THE LOOP ® - is a serious game that helps players take the first step in identifying what it means to move towards a more circular economy.
"Tell me, and I will forget. Show me, and I may remember. Involve me, and I will understand.”
