The CIVIS Creat’on Game is a practical, collaborative methodology designed to help teams address real-world challenges and transform creative ideas into concrete, actionable projects. Developed in connection with the CIVIS Creathon 2021, the resource combines an overview of the CIVIS creative marathons with a step-by-step manual for organising and facilitating the game.
The CIVIS Creat’on Game is a practical co-creation toolkit developed to support collaborative problem-solving and challenge-based learning.
Originally developed for the CIVIS Creathon held at Université libre de Bruxelles during the Global CIVIS Days in November 2021, the game supported interdisciplinary teams in addressing challenges connected to the theme “University in the City.” The methodology guides interdisciplinary teams through a structured process to transform real-world challenges into innovative, actionable solutions. The manual includes practical guidance on game preparation, team roles, facilitation and implementation, making it a flexible resource for educators, students and institutions seeking to foster collaboration, creativity and civic engagement.

Imagining Homeland: Palmyra's (in)tangible heritage and the voices of displacement
This volume is a monograph documenting the virtual reconstruction projects of the Temple of Baalshamin, one of the most significant forms of tangible heritage belonging to the Syrian community, destroyed as a result of terrorist attacks. Through a series of workshops with Syrian communities—including refugees, displaced persons, and individuals who have experienced either forced or voluntary migration—the virtual reconstruction is presented as a process that supports social inclusion and the reconstruction of cultural identity.- Communication and Dissemination
