The Inclusive Teaching Dilemma Game

The inclusive teaching dilemma game was created as part of this project to start the conversation around inclusive teaching. It is based on the Dilemma Game developed by the EDI office.

Goal of the game

The goal of the game is to spark fruitful conversations among participants about issues related to diversity and inclusion, and to help them better understand different perspectives and viewpoints. It is a conversation starter that encourages us to consider and explain (and possibly reconsider) alternative courses of action. The important thing is not to judge or criticize each other. Instead, ask for clarification to understand other opinions, think of the course of action you would choose, explain why this is the case and discuss it with others in a respectful way.

How to play?

Create a team of 2 to 7 participants – neither too small nor too large for deeper conversations. It is advisable to appoint one person as facilitator. The facilitator will ensure that everyone gets to speak, that discussion ensues and that everyone treats each other with respect. Depending on the number of dilemmas you would like to discuss, dedicate at least 60-90 minutes to the game. This will give you enough time to introduce the game, discuss several dilemmas and round off the discussion.

The game is currently in the last stages of development.
