On the 26th of November, we invited contributors to the Deep Sea Mining Simulation (e.g., voice-over actors) and the general public to join us for the Deep Sea Mining Simulation workshop.

The event was moderated online by Piotr Magnuszewski, together with Paolo Campo, Olga Mironenko, and Karolina Gajęcka.

The aim for the workshop was simple – decide by voting, should we enable deep-sea mining, or should we limit it, and if so – how?

Most of the participants were already familiar with the concept of deep-sea mining and had some previous experience with social simulations and serious games. As a result, they were very active during the debriefing session – we were able to deep dive into the topics and received a lot of feedback about the simulation itself.

The Deep Sea Mining Simulation was developed by our team in collaboration with Olga Mironenko, and financial support from Balaton Group and Sustainable Ocean Alliance.
