Description

GEM IN is a board game to be used with youngsters, so as to promote tolerance and mutual understanding of different traditions and cultures. The aim of the project is to open up to reflection, to get to know different stories and to find in diversity that extra element that allows us to grow and learn; GEM IN wants to write and tell new stories in which participation and sharing of experiences and knowledge trace the path to a shared European identity.

GEM IN is a game that promotes social inclusion through its ludic methodology that we can translate into “Learning by doing”. It is a non-formal tool that can be used in various intercultural contexts: the only prerequisite for its use is the intention to stimulate an exchange between the participants and the will to open a dialogue between them. In a school context, the teacher will play a fundamental role, although in this case they will be more of an educator, moderating the game and suspending any kind of judgement. GEM IN could be used in other learning contexts than school (such as youth associations, citizenship clubs, students’ associations, etc.) or in contexts where there is no educator at all.
The game is designed for a maximum of 8 players or more if playing in teams and the teachers/moderator reads the questions to the players. The game follows a geometric path that forms a spiral. Players place their tokens on the Start point and, after drawing lots who is the first player, the game will start and it will continue clockwise. The first who arrive in the middle wins!
