Official Launch Event, Thursday 12 January 2012, 6 p.m. - 9 p.m.
New Horizon Youth Centre, 68 Chalton St, London, NW1 1JR
The wait is finally over! The first edition of 'Seeking Sanctuary' will soon be available!
Join us in celebrating the launch of this unique resource for raising social awareness and fostering better understanding of the experiences of asylum seekers in the UK.
'Seeking Sanctuary' is a character-based board game that explores what it's like living day-to-day through the UK's asylum process. This 'serious' game has been developed for use in education and training, advising, advocacy and awareness-raising work for a range of organisations and communities. Through the power of experiential learning, 'Seeking Sanctuary' promotes informed reflection and dialogue on the current state of refugee protection in the UK.
At the launch you'll get to:
* Play 'Seeking Sanctuary'
* Meet the game's creator, Jana Gigl, and the g.e.t. game team, along
with people who've inspired, contributed to and supported the
project's development
* Learn about other g.e.t. game tools and projects
* Enter a raffle to win a 'Seeking Sanctuary' board game and other
prizes
* Mix, mingle and network
* Enjoy the music, dancing, food and drinks
This is a free event. Everyone's invited! You don't need to book, but please let us know that you'll be joining us: [log in to unmask]
