In the exhibition "Let's go DanaLand" of the University of Bern on the topic of sufficiency, knowledge about a sufficiency-oriented lifestyle and possible options for action is conveyed. "Let's go DanaLand" is an experiential game for teenagers and young adults and embedded in an interactive exhibition.

Visitors are guided through the exhibition using an app. At the beginning, they carry out a self-assessment of values and attitudes that characterize a sufficiency-oriented, frugal lifestyle. The app then uses questions to guide them through the four areas of nutrition, mobility, technical devices and everyday consumption. The visitors are accompanied by assistants, who are tasked with identifying candidates for DanaLand and talk about their lives in videos. There is always additional information.

Finally, the answers are evaluated and compared with the self-assessment. Then the players know where they stand and whether they are also candidates to be able to create a good life on DanaLand with few resources.

Temporary exhibitions such as "Let's go DanaLand" complement the permanent exhibitions of the Environment arena and form additional highlights and focal points. The current traveling exhibition at the University of Bern appeals primarily to teenagers and young adults aged 16 to 25, schoolchildren and students. The exhibition breaks down complex knowledge to an easily understandable level. In the process, the students have to become active themselves. To do so, they need their cell phone, on which they can download the app. The exhibition is self-explanatory and can be visited without a guide. The Umwelt Arena provides fairphones if required.

The traveling exhibition "Let's go DanaLand" is on display at the Umwelt Arena Spreitenbach until November 30, 2016. From January 2017, the adventure game will go on tour to various schools and communities.
