“A Gamified Approach to Sustainable Mining Education” (Mine2Learn)

Mine2Learn is a digital educational initiative focused on the full-scale implementation of a gamified e-learning platform that promotes holistic and sustainability-oriented education about the mineral value chain.

This project will develop a mining simulation game that integrates technical mining knowledge with key Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, offering users realistic, interactive decision-making mining scenarios. Designed for use in both academic and informal learning settings, the platform targets university students, industry trainees, and younger learners. In collaboration with Teknikens Hus in Luleå, the project will extend its outreach to schools and the public, promoting broader awareness of mining’s role in the green transition. The platform will be deployed in pilot tests to gather feedback, refine its content, and evaluate learning outcomes. The project contributes to SUN’s mission by combining resource education, digital innovation, and interdisciplinary collaboration, with the long-term goal of scalable, research-based sustainability training.
