Project Goal are to raise public awareness about water supply and wastewater systems.

The objectives of the project are to recreate the water supply and wastewater scheme of the city of Mykolaiv in a simple, clear, and engaging way, to develop a board game about the city’s water infrastructure that would capture the interest of both schoolchildren and adults, and to organize a photo exhibition showcasing the water supply and wastewater facilities.

The game consists of 24 cards, each depicting one of the water infrastructure objects of Mykolaiv. Each card includes a description on the back. The main characters of the game explain how each object works and how it connects to others. Your task is to build the full cycle: from the water source to the consumer, and from the consumer to the point where treated wastewater is discharged. Each card also includes additional questions with answers.

The game can be played in teams as a speed challenge or individually by laying out the cards and reading the descriptions. In the future, the game may be expanded with additional cards.

The project was created with the support of the CIM – Centre for International Migration and Development.
