Project Steps, the path ahead, Q1 2025
Published on January 22, 2025 by André Boeing
As we onboard on our half week old Open Collective let's have a look at our "roadmap".
There ain´t no roads in the SWAG project. Just agile sprints mapping a path in fresh territory. This his how we embarked in 2024 on a Smart Waste Game Design journey that also serves a save testing ground for new ways of collaborating as city administrations, non profits, freelancer and Youth Participation.
Here is what we see at the horizon and develop towards.
Our Website is evolving, too and you find our pathmap in a more visual way. Check it out at
