From the ground up: Experiential learning strengthens water governance
After the final round of a groundwater learning game in a village in India, the buzz of discussion and decision-making among farmers settled into reflection during the post-game community debriefing meeting.

| description | After the final round of a groundwater learning game in a village in India, the buzz of discussion and decision-making among farmers settled into reflection during the post-game community debriefing meeting. One participant said to the game’s facilitators: “you have been coming here and telling us about sustainable management for a long time. But now we finally get it.”
This was both a subtle critique of traditional teaching, and a commendation of how the groundwater game approach unlocks changes in behaviour through demonstrating what sustainability and cooperation really mean. These experiential learning games simulate real-life decisions, where participants can play out the collective consequences of individual actions and the process of co-creating water management rules. |
