🎲 Dignity Dice – Human Rights Through Play At the intersection of education, creativity, and social change stands Dignity Dice — an innovative international project that uses game-based learning to empower young people with a deeper understanding of human rights. Funded by the Erasmus+ programme, the project brought together dynamic youth workers, educators, and game designers from Czechia, Hungary, Turkey, and Germany to co-create powerful educational tools through the language of play. 🌍 A Journey Across Borders The journey began in Diyarbakır, Turkey, with an intensive training course held in September 2024. Participants immersed themselves in the art and science of game creation — exploring player dynamics, mechanics, and how abstract rights-based concepts could be turned into interactive, compelling experiences. Alongside game development, they explored the rich history, architecture, and traditions of the region, building not only knowledge but also lasting friendships. This creative momentum carried into Berlin in December, where project partners gathered for a key coordination meeting hosted by KulturNetz e.V. There, we analyzed feedback from the training, refined game prototypes, and laid the groundwork for upcoming dissemination activities and local workshops. 🎯 The Games We Created As a result of this powerful collaboration, we’re proud to introduce four game-based tools that make human rights education tangible, engaging, and meaningful: 🧠 Dignity Hunt – A deduction-based card game where players uncover the "Freedom Thief" hiding among them. Great for conversation clubs and critical thinking exercises. 🏙 Building a Sustainable City – A simulation game challenging players to balance ecological, economic, and social decisions while creating a greener urban future. 🗞 AwareNews – A creative news-based game focused on media literacy, misinformation, and freedom of expression. 🛡 Human Rights: The Resistance – A game that invites players to defend human rights while navigating realistic societal pressures. All games are available on the page of our English Conversation Club (https://www.facebook.com/groups/249987416448992/files/files) or at our website kuro.cz (https://www.kuro.cz/downloads) 🤝 Local Impact & Real Conversations Our team at KURO Hradec Králové z.s. was proud to extend the reach of Dignity Dice through local events and multiplier activities in Czechia. We partnered with Leader Projects z.ú., the Integration Center for Foreigners, and the Association of Ukrainians of Eastern Czechia, using the games to initiate meaningful conversations on migration, discrimination, and youth engagement. A special highlight was the support and encouraging feedback from Mr. Bohdan Sergiychuk, Consul of Ukraine, who affirmed the educational and social value of the project. 🗣 What’s Next? Dignity Hunt has now become a regular feature in our English Conversation Club, where it’s used to foster dialogue, critical thinking, and intercultural understanding. It’s also been integrated into youth workshops and even a children's rehabilitation camp in Pec pod Sněžkou. The project is a testament to what happens when education is transformed into play — and when young changemakers are trusted with the tools to make learning meaningful. 📣 Follow our journey.
