Theatre games for environmental researchers: An activity pack for interdisciplinary mindsets

This activity pack – called Theatre games for environmental researchers – was developed to help researchers, organisations, and students build the habits that allow for effective interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary work. It offers ten activities designed to spark discussion, strengthen collaboration, and encourage reflection on what it means to work thoughtfully across disciplines and with non-academic communities. Each activity invites participants to play, explore, and reflect through guided discussion about the way knowledge, values, and practices intersect across disciplines. The aim is to help researchers cultivate the confidence, curiosity, and flexibility needed to work well with others: what we call an ‘interdisciplinary mindset’.
