The Horizon game
What would it be like to create your own society? One in which you could find imaginative ways to repair the problems of our day? Students and scholars of utopianism at CETAPS in Porto set out to answer these questions by creating a board game, Horizon, in which players build their own utopia through collaborative discussion. I organized two trials of the beta version of Horizon with groups of friends at Dona Mira in Bonfim on 8 March and at the former Vintu in Cedofeita on 25 July to find out how people outside the world of utopian studies would respond.

This month, CETAPS will receive Mauro Sarrica (Sapienza University of Rome). You're invited to join us for a talk on energy transition and unjust policies next Monday, January 12th from 15:00 to 17:00 at the Department of Anglo-American Studies (Tower A, A267).

The use of electric scooters as an alternative means of transportation has gained significant attention in recent years, since the implementation of shared e-scooter systems in 2017. Since then, e-scooters have been a focus of socio-political discussion, with strong positioning by stakeholders. The impacts of this discussion can be seen in cities such as Paris, which have outright banned the micromobility vehicles, despite their implications for transport systems requiring further investigation.
