Aims of the tool
* Raising awareness on the complexities of the migration process and the difficulties migrants and refugees face in Europe
*Creating empathy and increaseing understanding for migrants and refugees.
* Raising awarness on racism, discrimination, privileges and stereotypes.
* Raising awareness on globale interdependecies and the historical background of migration; esp. Colonalism.
Description of the tool
In the game, players move within a kind of labyrinth of institutions and interactions with other players. In this way, they encounter various barriers, such as laws and regulations, deadlocked bureaucracy, language barriers, racism and discrimination, (de)privileges and prejudices. By “following in the footsteps” of a migrant, refugee – or, for example, a lawyer, journalist or immigration officer – the reality of migrants and refugees becomes more tangible.
Minosia Labyrinth is a game that takes place in Minosia, a fictive country in Europe where a considerable number of migrants arrive due to different reasons. In the country there are about 10 official stations related with migration procedures, such as: Immigration Office, Asylum Centre, Language School, Border Police etc. Migrants have a wide range of options to migrate to Minosia but the most important objective for them is to integrate completely in the country, which means achieving a legal status, learning the language and finding a job. However, as in European reality, reaching these aims isn’t as easy as it seems…
Minosia Labyrinth is a new non-formal educational tool that has been developed by a consortium of 4 partner organizations from The Netherlands, Germany, Italy and Romania during a 3-year project co-funded by the Erasmus+ Program of the European Union. There are 5 different versions of the game: European, Netherlands, Romanian, Italian and German.
The website contains the full toolkit, including all materials for introduction, applying the game and debriefing.
