Me-We is a gamified design thinking process and program to help groups solve wicked, complex, epic scale, world problems, collectively (group, community, society).

The Me-We program uses a mapping system to map community values (ie the 8 forms of capital) to community conditions/problems/vision). It builds trust among participants with shared principles and vision for regeneration. It uses design thinking to facilitate interaction and evaluate how to develop a product or service towards regeneration. At the end of the session the group has insight of the direction, process, system needed to solve their collective problem.

“Everything in nature should have a voice, build a system that supports life, how can you continue living and having space for whatever you want to do.”

6 Domains of Gamified Regeneration

The game is based on mastering the skillsets in 6 domains:

1. Conditions & Environment • Is it desirable that the value of a dead tree is worth more than a living tree?
2. Knowledge-responsibility • Decentralization requires more individual effort, in particular for bettering the world.
3. Culture & Values • You only achieve realistic goals together when everyone feels heard and seen
4. People & Scarcity • Within a group there must be mutual trust, safety, understanding, awareness, peace.
5. Zeitgeist & Anticipation • ‘The defining spirit of a particular period of history as shown by the ideas of the time.’
6. Technology-balance • How to regain our place within our ecological system in balance with our nature.
