About this Event
This session takes place in two parts: 10:00 am – Noon and 1:00pm – 3:30 pm with a one hour lunch break from noon to 1:00. While a professor at SIU, Fuller conceived the World Peace Game to be played out on an enormous version of his, 1946 patented, Dymaxion Map.
Participants will stand on a 27ft by 12ft version of Fuller’s world map representing our global population distribution across the continents. They will be assigned natural and technological resources corresponding to the populations they represent and tasked with figuring out ways to work together across the planet to avert conflict.
The game is intended to model solutions to realize Fuller’s goal “to make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone.”
The game aims to shift mindsets from a fragmented, short-term, competitive approach to a holistic, long-term, collaborative one, equipping individuals with the knowledge and motivation to build a more just and sustainable world.
