Radio Ghost at LIFT Festival 2022

The BHRE team was delighted to attend the laundh of Radio Ghost at LIFT festival at Ilford Exchange! Radio Ghost is a research and development project of a collaborative multi-player locative game experience for Shopping Centres. Based on the research contribution on working conditions and enviornmental impacts of global supply chains by BHRE, the game aims to promote ethical consumption by supporting the re-opening of sustainable commerce. After long hours of research during the pandemic and many playtests, it has launched at LIFT Festival in three different shopping centres this month and will be launched all across the globe! By following audio prompts on your mobile, it explores and engages players in mindful consumption behaviours through small data mining activities.

The BHRE, alongside Law, Emerging Tech and Science Lab (LETS Lab) is proud to have contributed to this fantastic knowledge exchange project. The focus is on encouraging ethical consumer behaviour through nudging the consumer part of corporate human rights due diligence and technology as a tool to modify behavioural patterns.

Radio Ghost is created and produced by ZU-UK and University of Greenwich, with support from the Innovate UK Sustainable Innovation Fund: Round 1 (Temporary Framework) 2020 (co-PIs by Dr. Jorge Ramos Lopes and Professor Olga Martin-Ortega).
