The Chernivtsi Civic Action Game is a collaborative simulation designed to strengthen a resilient and inclusive civic service ecosystem in Chernivtsi. It brings together diverse stakeholders to co-create strategic responses that address both immediate needs and long-term civic ambitions.

During gameplay, participants—including civic service providers, citizen initiatives, engaged residents, municipal representatives, funders, and donors—identify pressing needs and explore opportunities for mutual support. As the game progresses, participants form thematic teams aligned with the long-term visions of a Healthy, Creative, Socially Inclusive, and Entrepreneurial Chernivtsi, as outlined in the Integrated Urban Development Concept for Chernivtsi 2030.

Each team navigates its role within the evolving civic ecosystem by responding to “What if?” future scenarios. Players engage in dynamic exchanges of resources—such as skills, spaces, and funding—while mapping the ecosystem to uncover potential partnerships and foster a networked approach to civic action.

In the final phase, teams present their collaborative proposals and receive expert feedback on their viability, sustainability, and long-term impact. The game culminates in the formation of concrete commitments—like resource-sharing agreements or pilot projects—while enhancing participants’ sense of shared responsibility and agency in shaping the future of Chernivtsi’s civic life.
