We won!! 🎉

We are absolutely humbled to announce that Merri-bek City Council, Goodmorningbeautiful and Amble Studio, with support from Deakin University, have won the Resilient Australia National Local Government Award for The Adaptation Game in Merri-bek. 🤩

We were stoked to win the State awards, so winning Nationals as well is truly cause for celebration. 🏆

Huge congrats to the whole team, for all the work you've each put in to make this game what it is - a visually beautiful game, based on real scientific research, combined with engaging game mechanics, and accompanied by thoughtful facilitation and community connection. 💗

Here's to building resilience - first Victoria, and then the world! 🌏
