ma-terre invites you to participate in its inaugural low-tech escape game. Geneva is shrouded in darkness, with no light, heating, or connectivity. In small groups, you will need to develop strategies to feed the population during this blackout. For each link in the food chain—production, transportation, preservation, cooking, and waste management—you must decide between advanced high-tech solutions, sturdy low-tech options, or a balance of both. The survival of your community hinges on these decisions. Conclude by engaging in a discussion with Corentin de Chatelperron, an explorer and low-tech expert, about these vital choices.
Corentin de Chatelperron, both an engineer and an adventurer, will introduce his urban biosphere project and delve into low-tech sustainable living. The Biosphère Expérience team is conducting dual experiments with the help of hundreds of volunteers to explore a zero-waste, sustainable lifestyle. During the conference, he will share the outcomes, followed by a book signing of “The Apartment of the Future.”

Join Planet C, an immersive collective game at the Maison de l’Avenir, designed to explore human obstacles in addressing climate challenges. With a group of 5 to 20 participants led by a facilitator, you’ll guide the development of a territory and gain insights for ecological transition. Based on extensive research in ecology and resource management, this game helps participants identify hurdles and devise strategies to overcome them, encouraging collective learning and action. Planet C is supported by a collective of 50 researchers from France and Switzerland, led by Leafic, an EPFZ spin-off.
