Game for tolerance and diversity
As part of this project, the interactive game ‘Small World – Game for Tolerance and Diversity’ is being developed for young people to promote dialogue between third-country nationals and the host society in a school environment. It is designed as a group game in which players have to puzzle their way through various levels in a fun way and without being lectured, mastering tasks related to migration, refugee experiences, integration, inclusion, cultural diversity and tolerance in interactive game situations. The game mechanics are based on democratic principles and rules with intended learning experiences that must be experienced and negotiated in immersive situations – the functioning, norms and values of the host society are tested and communicated in playful acculturation processes. Pupils are encouraged to engage in dialogue about migration and integration in a playful way, and their own biographies and cultural adaptation processes are addressed in the game.
The game is intended for use in school and extracurricular education and is being developed as a game box containing all the necessary game materials. The game is supported by digital resources such as a website accompanying the game, which provides tasks, information and short videos, as well as a chatbot that gives hints about the puzzles. In addition, there will be extensive educational material for teachers, providing background information and ideas for using the game.
The project is funded by the Europäischen Union under the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF).
