Context
The City of Paris has launched a global programme to phase out single-use plastics and is deploying a wide range of alternatives throughout the city.
To coincide with the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the city wanted to promote these initiatives to the general public and international delegations.
To pass on best practice and talk about its programme, Circulab suggested to the City of Paris to develop and run an immersive board game.
