What is this? It’s a piece of writing exploring the development of a small international ecolinguistics pilot project that used Animal Crossing New Horizons (ACNH) as a vehicle to connect university students and researchers in conversation about issues of environmental and community sustainability.
Why did you make it? We wanted to share and make sense of what we tried, what we learned, and we wanted to explore ideas for possible future iterations.
Who is it for? People interested in exploring the use ACNH, or similar games, as a vehicle for meaningful discussion about environmental and social issues.
