Found in translation
how do you get people in the mood to collaborate?
Solving our community’s most challenging problems needs policy makers, researchers, creatives and citizens to work together. Found In Translation is a fast-paced game that tasks participants with reimagining those systems of collaboration. Attempting to run a high-end restaurant, players must identify the correct preparation for each day’s menu and serve it to demanding diners, while juggling a host of challenges.
In 2023, Boho worked with Population Health Exchange (PHXchange) from ANU’s College of Health and Medicine to rethink intersectoral relationships such as between researchers and research-users. The result of that collaboration, Found in Translation, is a hands-on workshop that encourages participants to build new methods of collaboration and communication.
Appropriate for researchers and research-users, conferences and schools, multiple departments of an organisation, or a team at the beginning of a new project.

Our team at CATSINaM had an unforgettable experience participating in BOHO Interactive's "Found in Translation" workshop.
Our team was presented with a broken system, requiring us to rethink and reconfigure the rules. The parallels drawn between the game and our everyday professional experiences profoundly impacted us. CATSINaM firmly believes that this workshop is not just an excellent tool for academic and professional contexts, but a practical solution for fostering collaboration across multiple departments within an organisation, or even for kick-starting new projects.
Our experience was nothing short of exceptional and has left a lasting impression on our team’s approach to collaborative work.
