1153.1 Creating a Low Carbon Footprint Way of Life with the MaTerre Workshopthe game (in our case -50% of the GHG footprint). As far as the synergybetween participants is concerned, an in-depth anthropological and sociologicalstudy would be needed to assess the barriers and leverages to GHG footprintreduction.Diverse game reviews from the last decade show that the tendency ofgamification has only grown in recent decades; however, to the best of ourknowledge, this is the first time that such a role-playing game has beendeployed and used to determine the possible scenarios to reduce GHGemissions in the academic world on an EU scale. Gamification is relevantbecause it allows participants to fail with low consequence. Some furthersessions of Ma Terre need to be performed in order to consolidate the resultsand explore the participants%u2019 sociological synergies during the workshops:changing the 50% target of GHG emissions reduction, using virtual teamsexploring other cultural environments from various EU countries, adding otherkinds of virtual characters, etc. Additionally, deploying Ma Terre on differentscales and within varied EU universities will help to tackle possible biases. Lastbut not least, the transition between the virtual and real world, i.e. finding amethod to adapt the scenarios imagined with the virtual game-based tool intothe real world of universities. This necessarily requires the participation andinvolvement of the institutional governance of university organisations on an EUlevel.AcknowledgementWe would like to express our gratitude to the whole MaTerre community(https://materre.osug.fr/ and https://www.materre-enclasse.org/), including thecore team, the facilitators, the participants, and everyone who contributes toits improvement and dissemination. We would particularly like to thank JulietteBonnet, Damien Guillaud, and Geremy Panthou for their involvement in the firstMaTerre session of CitEuroPass, which took place during the kick-off meetingof the project in Grenoble, France (October 2022).ReferencesThe present e-book offers a review of the main highlights of Gratiot et al. 2023 and ofthe adaptation of %u201cMa Terre%u201d workshop to the European students involved in theCitEuroPass Erasmus+ project.Gratiot, N., Klein, J., Challet, M., Dangles, O., Janicot, S., Candelas, M. et al.
