In the first part of the role-playing game, participants begin to articulate contrasting positions through their assigned characters, allowing everyday experience and policy logic to meet in the same staged public debate. One participant, speaking in the student role, expresses dissatisfaction with the city’s infrastructure, pointing to the absence of bike lanes in parts of Ljubljana and framing mobility as a daily source of frustration and limitation. Another participant, embodying a municipality official, speaks with confidence and proposes a set of measures that shift responsibility toward structural change, including higher industry pollution taxes, reinvesting revenues into public transport, and replacing plastic with glass or other sustainable materials. The group’s nodding indicates tacit approval and a shared recognition that these proposals sound both reasonable and actionable within the debate’s frame.
