Abstract
Community Forest Management (CFM) is gaining popularity among interdisciplinary
students due to the increasing importance of social issues in forest conservation.
These interactions can foster innovation and cooperation among diverse fields of study.
However, limited research exists on how gamification tools like LEGO® SERIOUS® Play
(LSP) can facilitate knowledge exchange in CFM. This study explores a workshop led by
two graduate design students in a CFM course, using LSP to promote collective
thinking and co-design. The workshop aimed to help students deepen their
understanding of CFM, reflect on its challenges, and consider how LSP can enhance
their own research and collaboration with stakeholders in forest conservation.
