Ktopias are living lab ecotopes for growing gameful, joyful narratives as a coop for a season. The seeds and fruits of the project gardens are shared freely with the Creative Commons as Open Educational Resources.

ktopia designs and develops engaging, narrative-driven Games for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), with a special focus on regenerative food systems. These games are created in both analog and digital formats by a multi-stakeholder “coop for a season”, including Youth and are released as Creative Commons and Open Educational Resources (OERs)—enabling free adaptation and expansion using open-source tools.

Playful Games for the creative commons, to activate the joy of conscious exploration and active change

Play sparks curiosity and invites us to face challenges with joy. Games offer ways to explore, grow, and even learn through failure.

Ktopia invites people into narrative education worlds and supports them in co-creating open-source, analogue-digital games. We facilitate multi-stakeholder Europe–Africa cooperatives—including Youth—to design card games for exploring regenerative food systems and imagining paths toward global sustainability.

Inspiring story narratives, joyful action, playful co-creation, and open sharing of resources are essential for learning how to live sustainably—in ways that are locally rooted and culturally respectful.

The Smart Waste Agency Game (The SWAG) is an edutaining, open-source tabletop and card game. It immerses players in the world of waste types (waste monsters), recycling techniques (smart multi-tools), and a circular economy – fostering creativity, cooperation, and climate awareness as Agents of Change.


How can we engage into actively exploring the ques.tion: “How can we be smarter with our waste and grow towards 0 wastefulness ?

a conscious quest(ion) in a quest(ion) 😉



A coop model of co-creating a social product for the commons together

Living Labs are save grounds to try new ways of cooperating with each other.
In our 2024 Expedition and co-creation of our social game product we succesfully tried a different way of doing so. The Project Quest has been in the center of a circle, multiple stakeholder contributed to and received from.

In comparison, this is the more common model of doing a project for a specific “target group”.
