On Wednesday, November 11, 2024, Leolit Games, in the presence of Yude (CEO of Leolit Games) and Afa, had the opportunity to participate in the CollaTalk event: “Together for the Earth: Knitting Collaboration in Responding to Climate Crisis”, organized by Collabox Creative HUB in collaboration with BAPPEDA Semarang. With the theme “Together for the Earth: Knitting Collaboration in Responding to Climate Crisis”, this event discussed various creative solutions in facing environmental challenges, especially climate change.
The event presented inspiring speakers from various fields, namely:
- 🫱🏻 Iis Harkomo, Data and Information Coordinator of BMKG Central Java, who presented the latest data and facts about climate change in Central Java.
- 🫱🏻Laras Zita, Co-Founder of Tomoro Labs and Project Manager of Cycle4Climate, who shared her experience on the importance of technology and cross-disciplinary collaboration to create sustainable solutions.
- 🫱🏻Fika Rofiudin Izza, Chairperson of the Central Java Green Youth Coalition (KOPHI), who emphasized the role of communities and the younger generation in raising public awareness of environmental issues.
INSIGHTS FROM THE TALKSHOW SESSION
In the talk show that took place, the speakers provided deep insights:
- Iis Harmoko (BMKG), highlighted the importance of accurate and up-to-date data in understanding climate change trends, especially in Central Java. This data is the basis for determining appropriate mitigation and adaptation measures, especially in anticipating extreme weather and its impacts.
- Laras Zita (Tomoro Labs) emphasized how technology, such as AI and data analytics, can be used to process climate data into something more understandable and actionable. She also highlighted the role of cross-sector collaboration - between technology, creativity, and education - as a major force to create positive impact.
- Fika Rofiudin Izza (KOPHI Central Java) underlined the role of youth as agents of change. She said that community-based education, packaged in interesting forms such as creative campaigns, has great potential to build public awareness about environmental issues.
FOCUS GROUP DISCUSSION (FGD)
After the talk show, participants were divided into several groups in a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) session. Leolit Games joined the group that discussed how technology-based interactive media can be an effective educational tool, especially for the younger generation. The results of Leolit Games' group discussion resulted in a solution:
- 1. Developing Educational Games Based on BMKG Data, Games are the most attractive media for Gen Z and Gen Alpha. With the integration of data from BMKG that has been processed into an interactive format, this game can educate players about climate change, extreme weather patterns, and environmental impacts in depth but still fun.
- 2. Education with Gamification Approach, to encourage real action, gamification such as challenges, achievements, or leaderboards can be utilized.
NETWORKING AND COLLABORATION OPPORTUNITIES
In addition to discussions and presentations, CollaTalk was also a networking event that brought us together with various stakeholders. Leolit's discussions with BMKG, KOPHI, and Tomoro Labs opened up opportunities for future collaboration to develop technology-based projects that can answer environmental challenges.
With cross-sector collaboration, Leolit Games is optimistic that the creative industry, including games, can play a big role in addressing climate challenges. Stay tuned for the next innovative step from Leolit Games!🤗
