Scaling Playful Pedagogies for Responsible Management Education

David Anderson (University of Lincoln) presents a practice-led exploration of how playful learning can be scaled to support sustainability education across higher education. Drawing on his PRME UK & Ireland Chapter Seed Funded project, David introduces a suite of four interactive card games designed to make global challenges accessible, engaging, and memorable for students.

This session situates the games within a broader pedagogical agenda: scaling innovation in responsible management education through gamification, design ethnography, and collaborative learning. David shares insights from the DICE Café — an initiative that uses game-based formats to foster critical dialogue and creativity, and in business education.

The four games include:

• 17 SDG Memory Game – A pair-matching introduction to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
• PRME Pumps – A comparative trick-taking game highlighting sustainability indicators.
• Cards for Sustainability – A party game encouraging playful critique and creative thinking.
• Concord – A cooperative deck-building game exploring collective responses to global challenges.

Together, these tools exemplify how playful pedagogies can be scaled to support meaningful, responsible, and transformative learning experiences.

It would be great if you could join us. If you have other colleagues who would be interested in this, please invite them as well, but I would be grateful if you could forward their details.

We look forward to seeing you on the 24th!
