The British Council in Bulgaria is staging a special team game designed to come up with plans to improve Sofia.

The Sofia game is part of a wider Future City Game which enables people to find solutions to long-term challenges facing cities. It is played over two days and led by a trained games-master. Hopefully, it will generate the best ideas for improving the quality of life in cities around the world.

In Sofia's case there will be two games on December 4 and December 5 - between 9am and 1.30pm and from 2pm to 6.30pm - at the British Council premises on 7 Krakra Street. Each game will accommodate 25 participants playing in teams. The British Council has prepared awards for the best ideas.

You can book your place at booking@britishcouncil.bg by 2 December.

A good and appropriate example for Sofia is in Brazil: 'successive mayors have over the past 40 years made Curitiba, a city of 3 million in southern Brazil, one of the world's most livable urban spaces – using only massive creativity and tiny budgets':
