THE URBAN ASSEMBLY (ONLINE)
The COVID-19 pandemic radically shifted life for young people, prompting a new, urgent need for social and emotional supports that could meet them where they are in an unprecedentedly uncertain time. For the first time, in Spring 2020, iThrive Studio went virtual, engaging students from The Urban Assembly in an interactive co-design workshop. Over the course of six sessions, the students brainstormed ideas for a game that would document and share their perspectives living through the pandemic. Their co-design resulted in Blood Moon, a choose-your-own-adventure game that can be downloaded and played here.
