Description

The card deck consists on descriptions from the Council of Europe’s Reference Framework Competences for Democratic Culture. Participants explore the comptence descriptions and apply them to real life situations:

There can be 4-7 players at once and they work in teams. Everyone gets a pack of 20 cards. One player is chosen as “storyteller”, one as “proposer”, and the rest are “evaluators”. The storyteller tells a story describing a life situation in which democratic culture skills are needed. Then the proposer chooses from their competence cards the competences which fit this situation. The chosen cards are mixed up with random competence cards from the other player. After that, the cards are put on the table, and the evaluators try to identify which were the competence cards chosen by the proposer.

Correctly guessed cards are awarded victory points. All players play cooperatively and win together as a team once they reached the necessary amount of victory points.
