It was a meaningful activity for the 14 teams of 6 students, who distinguished themselves by coming up with innovative concepts using books, cardboard, glass bottles, broken umbrellas, tyres, etc. to help reduce our environmental impact. Creation of the «Tipping Point” Game The game created by Thomas-Julian Irabor, Nicolas Antoine-Moussiaux and Simon Rüegg, called ‘Tipping Point’, is being implemented in the veterinary curriculum with the support of VetMediSim care. It is being applied and developed in Switzerland and Nigeria. The game lasts six rounds (representing 6 years), during which players have to build houses while efficiently managing the waste they produce. The player who manages to survive the six rounds and build the most houses wins the game. FIND OUT MORE © www.irt-research.com 43 | ACTIVITY REPORT SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AT ULIÈGE | 2022 – 2023
