Develop deeper awareness of behavious and the impact of your actions.

Short Description

Fair Play confronts students that discriminate against Muslims, homosexuals or any other marginalised groups. The game challenges them to this about their own actions. In this way, the students develop an awareness of their behaviour and the impact of their statements. The game shows how behaviour influences situations. Young people react to discriminatory behaviour. Consciously or unconsciously, they take on the social role of perpetrators, bystanders or helpers. The characters Julia, Ab and Remco in the game react to this.
