Gotodivers

Through the use of game, we surpass language-barriers and use joint action as a provocation to connect more profoundly, open up to the richness of diversity, and increase understanding in each other’s culture and identity. Through community action (core-elements of the game), the target group experiences an environment of equality (gender equality, equity considering other factors such as socioeconomic, etc.) and connection with their own possibilities and richness of diversity. Joint action creates a new relationship, balancing the understanding of each others’ value, giving minorities a stronger position in a majority contexts and more confidence and understanding to exercise their rights, therewith gaining strength to individually and collectively combat racism, xenophobia, homophobia and other forms of intolerance.

One central contribution is to demonstrate how we gain through diversity on a community-level and that collective actions involving intergroup collaborations can achieve sustainable change in the quality and number of relationship between individual from different groups and within groups themselves. The project not only trains professionals to replicate the Go Deep game and share intensively stories of change, but will also give a researched guideline of a process that can support many Europeans on how to work better with diversity.
