Abstract

The chapter describes how creating and playing a serious cooperative board game to address energy sustainability in a study abroad course provides an opportunity for students to collaborate in culturally diverse teams and develop intercultural competence. Learning leadership skills through the method of Agile Game Play, including team building, communication, and cooperative interaction for a global benefit, is shown to be effective. The serious cooperative board game can be seen as not merely an interactive support tool, but as a method to generate innovative, people-centered, approaches that can be applied to efforts in global energy sustainability and policy making. Creating and playing a serious cooperative board game offers a new approach for a student in any field of study to learn cooperative leadership skills for global benefit in a short amount of time.
