Cognitive Surplus Sustainability Actions

Linked design to wellbeing

The more I study neuroscience, health, behavior, and the built environment, the clearer it becomes: When the brain is overwhelmed, stressed, rushed, or emotionally saturated, it stops processing the subtle environmental cues that support wellbeing.

Translated neuroscience into design

We translate neuroscience into planning, design, and sustainability in ways people can actually use.

Built a SDG learning game

YourAccess designed a gaming experience which the backbone is about the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is a unique experience for players who become real-life changemakers by creating a possible world online and reflecting about their own actions.

Created a possible world game

YourAccess created an event in the format of a game. A learning journey starts when students have access to our platform so a lot of content will be assimilated with pleasure and ease. The event YourAccess to the Future: ChangeMaker works on the 17 SDGs of the UN with stages, missions, and a big reward in the end: creating a virtual possible world while playing a game with students from schools around the globe.
