Anna König Jerlmyr, former mayor of Stockholm, shares her experience of using Minecraft to engage young people in discussions about the city's future. By recognizing that young people spend a lot of time playing video games, Anna saw an opportunity to involve them in city affairs through a creative and interactive platform.
The project involved building the city of Stockholm in Minecraft, a product of Mojang Studios and Microsoft, and inviting schools to participate in generating ideas for climate solutions. The initiative was successful and has been scaled to other cities around the world. Anna emphasizes the importance of upskilling, being open to new ideas, and fostering creativity in the future organization.
