Content

This playlist will guide you through the steps for using Incluship, the gamified tool created in the framework of the “GameOn” project for assessing the competences for inclusion that participants can develop during a game design process.

Complete the playlist activities to learn about:
  • What is Incluship and what are its goals and intended use
  • How to use Incluship, step by step
  • Which competences can be assessed using Incluship

Jump aboard our Incluship and start your journey of discovery of this new gamified tool!


The international partnership “GameOn” created this playlist to promote inclusion, participation, and critical thinking through game design. Learn more about this partnership here.

Content

This activity will guide you through the second step of using Incluship, the gamified tool that was created by Idealúdica and the partners of the “GameOn” project to assess inclusion competences acquired through game design.

In each intermediate evaluation activity, each participant must identify specific actions or moments since the last activity of Incluship where they put in practice attitudes, knowledge and skills related to the social inclusion competences. This individual reflection will then be shared with the rest of the group.
The identified actions will show the participants what inclusion competences they are developing, and how they are contributing to achieving the objective set at the beginning of the project.

As the facilitator, you should have decided before starting the process how many intermediate evaluation sessions you want to carry out during your project (between 1 and 3).
You should repeat the step described in this activity for each of the evaluation sessions you planned to do. Each of these sessions should last about 30 minutes.


1. Choosing exploration cards

Place the exploration cards with the colored side face up on 3 different tables or spaces, separating them according to their type into:

Skills – Green cards
Knowledge – Blue cards
Attitudes and behaviors – Red cards
Cards


Invite now the participants to go freely to one of the 3 available tables/spaces and to choose the card with the element they think that they’ve developed the most during the project, until that moment.

Without picking up the cards, turning them over or moving them, invite participants to simply write the name of the chosen card in their personal exploration journal, under the column for the current assessment session (first, second, or third). Then, encourage them to go to another table/space and continue like this until they have selected 1 card of each type/color.

See the example below:
Explorer journal chosen cards



2. Sharing in the group

When all participants have chosen their 3 cards (one of each type) and written them down in their exploration journal, invite them back to the circle and to share the reasoning behind their choices with the rest of the group.

In turns, each participant will explain which cards they have chosen and when they have put their content in practice, during the project, according to their own point of view.

For example:
If a participant has chosen the "Critical" attitude card, they must explain during which moment or situation in the activities they have shown that attitude or behavior.

If they have chosen the “Acknowledge prejudices and privileges” card, they must explain when they have learned or were aware of that.

If they have chosen the card "Sociability", they must explain when they have exercised this skill.

If working with a big group (15+ participants), this step can be done in small teams instead.


3. Scoring of exploration points

When all participants have shared their card choices, ask them to return to the tables and to now turn the cards over and record in their explorer’s journals the exploration points that they’ve earned thanks to their selected cards.

For example:
If a participant has chosen the “Trustworthy” card, they will gain 2 points on the “Resilience” island, 2 points on the “Adaptability” island, and another 2 points on the “Communication” island. They shall mark all points in their journal, in the relevant competence islands.

Explorer journal points


To end the session, remind participants that the points obtained show how each one is working and developing the different inclusion competences throughout the project.


4. The storm effect (optional)

If during the game design or creative process there has been a moment of intentional exclusion, lack of respect or some element that has made the process difficult, the facilitator or the members of the group can incorporate to the Incluship board and the islands the “storm effect” token.

Storm effect


The storm effect stops the competence islands exploration until the conflict is discussed and resolved.

To end the storm, the facilitator will develop a group dynamic (they will choose what’s the best action to resolve the conflict) to ensure the group’s commitment to the resolution of the bad situation, attitude or action.
When the facilitator and/or group evaluate that the conflict is well resolved, the storm will end and the exploration can continue.

It’s not mandatory to use the storm effect, but it’s highly recommended to explain to participants that there exists this possibility to highlight some conflict or bad situation that isn’t getting resolved.


To summarise…

  1. Each participant chooses 3 exploration cards (one of each colour)
  2. Participants share in the group the reasons behind their choices
  3. Going back to the cards, participants mark the points for each competence
  4. Furthermore, the facilitator or the members of the group can use the storm token to stop the exploration and highlight a conflict, intentional exclusion, lack of respect or some element that has made the process difficult in the last activities of the game design or creative project
