Inclusive board game teaches Hongkongers with special educational needs about sustainability
On a fun Saturday afternoon, a group of excited people gathered at a cafe in Sai Ying Pun for a board game workshop.
Six moderators guided small groups of players. Three of them had mild intellectual disabilities. They asked the players to draw different “mission” cards to advance towards the finish line.
The game was about completing tasks related to the environment. Players learned many things, including what items are recyclable and how waste affects the planet.
Natalie Yau Hiu-shuen and Claudia Lau Ching-yee are the creators of the board game. It is the first in Hong Kong to focus on educating people with mild intellectual disabilities and special educational needs (SEN) about the environment.
