BIOSPHERE CHALLENGE 2016 Create a game for all
We live in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve WHO CHOSE US? A Biosphere Reserve is designated by UNESCO, United Nation’s Education, Science and Cultural Organisation. WHAT IS A BIOSPHERE RESERVE? A Biosphere Reserve is a region where people thrive in harmony with nature, creating better conditions for future generations to live on our Planet Earth.
We live in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve We, who live in the Biosphere Reserve, should act collectively to adapt our ways of living to make a stronger contribution to a sustainable future. There are more than 600 Biosphere Reserves in the world. It is easy to live sustainably… or?
Living sustainably EVERYONE who lives on our planet use resources, like food, water, wood, fuel, and metals. These are all things we need to survive and to have a good quality life style. Today, these resources are unevenly distributed. WE ALL must consider that our CHILDREN and GRANDCHILDREN need food, clean water and good soil to survive.

IT IS GOOD FOR YOUR BODY AND THE ENVIRONMENT THAT YOU MOVE YOUR BODY. THE GAME IS ALSO GOOD BECAUSE… …the RULES of the game function like the rules of your country. We decide DEMOCRATICALLY which rules should apply and then we follow them.
It is called DEMOCRACY because… When you decide which game to create and what rules apply, everyone will be part of the decision. When you VOTE, everyone’s vote is equal.
You have many friends! SCHOOL CLASSES IN BIOSPHERE RESERVES IN OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE ACCEPTED THE CHALLENGE! Together, we will create many new games that will make recess more fun. All the games are shared at www. vanerkulle. org/utmaning so that you can try playing games from other countries.
