“Playing” it forward:

Combating discrimination with gamification (part 1)

Immerse yourself in a fact-based interactive dialogue designed to increase social competence, evoke empathy, and enhance self-awareness. Assume the identity of a character that differs from your own and navigate the realities of inequality, based on your character’s race, class, gender, faith, sexual orientation, ability, and age. How will inequality impact your character? How will inequality impact YOU?

Learning objectives

Participants will be able to:

  1. Become acquainted with the intricacies of inequality’s structural foundation and its crippling cyclical nature
  2. Counter the various preconceived biases associated with historically excluded groups
  3. Leave more self-aware and empathetic
