SIG Facilitation: play “Cultural Glasses”
Come and put on your cultural glasses to have a look at how they help and hinder your understanding of your own unconscious biases and how to manage them appropriately.
The session will give you an opportunity to Play a little bit, discuss game mechanics and learning goals. And consider how to facilitate such online games & discussions.
This SIG meeting February 25, 9 am.-10.30 (Amsterdam time) is an international group of game designers, facilitators and researchers who meet around the topic of facilitation. We will spend about an hour playing Cultural Glasses. And then some time on general facilitation issues concerning D&I sessions. Here is the Zoom link for attending this session
You are also welcome just to have a peak!
The game was developed by Studio ToiToi, by Jennifer van Exel who is an applied game designer and corporate sociologist, together with Renske Bongers, a behavioural scientist. Studio ToiToi is a young design & consultancy firm based in The Hague, The Netherlands. We use Applied Gaming to facilitate behaviour change, learning and organisational changes. Cultural Glasses is a unique D&I game, developed on Miro. Multiple groups of players play together to explore issues of cultural bias and unexamined assumptions and discover what for them are the benefits of thinking and acting diversely and inclusively.
Discussion & reflection
Elyssebeth Leigh will be offering an Australian perspective on the game concepts and contribute to the conversation about the game and facilitation around D&I topics.
