Innovation Journey in Mirandela: Playing for Better Local Government
INNlocal brings the Innovation Journey card game to students and citizens during the IV International Conference on Public Policies and Data Science.
On 21 May, the INNlocal project held a hands-on session in Mirandela as part of the IV International Conference on Public Policies and Data Science, engaging students and citizens in a collaborative experience focused on public innovation.
After a brief introduction to the project, participants took part in the Innovation Journey card game, developed under INNlocal to explore real-world municipal challenges through action cards, strategic constraints, and group discussion.
Working in teams, participants analysed scenarios, debated possible responses, and proposed innovative solutions inspired by the daily realities of local government and community life. The playful format encouraged active participation, creativity, and critical thinking.
The session received very positive feedback, with participants highlighting the game’s value in stimulating dialogue, fresh perspectives, and collaborative problem solving.
