1083 Frugal Innovationsacademic community. It is not simply a question of moving tokens on a virtualgameboard and a playful adjustment of practices, but rather a question ofbrainstorming possible and desirable ways of remodelling research andteaching communities and embracing a new paradigm. After hundreds ofworkshops, our results show clear pathways for reaching up to 50% GHGreductions and stress the importance of guided negotiations to bring outalternatives to carbonised activities. This first attempt reinforces our belief thatscientific engagement is at the heart of the international development agendaand a key approach to tearing down the institutional barriers that inhibit thetransformation needed to achieve a more sustainable society.n 3. 1. 1. Materials and methodsAs adapted for the CitEuroPass student body, MaTerre is a transition supportsystem organised in three distinct phases, through which students seek tochange the organisation of their individual and class habits to reach a targetGHG emissions reduction. The workshop lasts 180 minutes. As an adaptationto the COVID pandemic, MaTerre has been designed to be deployed online,which proved to be particularly useful for the massification and digitisation ofthis game-based approach. Now, up to more than 2,000 participants from tencountries from around sixty cities have experienced the MaTerre workshop.Each Ma Terre individual workshop aims to gather a facilitator and five to sevenparticipants. The different phases are as follows:Phase 1: awareness-raising phase and individual pathwaysPhase 2: role-playing phasePhase 3: mini debriefing phasePhase 1: awareness-raising phase and individual pathwaysThis first phase intends to build a common background on the topic amongparticipants and to offer them the opportunity to get to know each other, a keyprerequisite before further discussions and negotiations. Phase 1 is based ona set of two videos (open sources) containing general statements: the first videoshows the annual greenhouse gas emissions of New York city (Fig. 3.1.1a); thesecond video shows the human energy required to toast a piece of bread (Fig.3.1.1b).
