Free downloadable boardgames (for young people and adults) promoting peace and justice.
e.g. "Road to Racial Justice" is a game that supports and encourages cross-cultural understanding and compassionate action in order to help create a more loving and just world. Players will become more aware that racism exists in many everyday situations (interpersonal and institutional), learn why the situations are racist (stereotyping, tokenism, cultural appropriation, etc.), and acquire tools to interrupt these kinds of situations.
Zoom Option: Play the game through Zoom, without constructing the game board, using the Situation cards for discussion. A) Send all players the PDF of the Situation cards in advance to print out or have handy on a second device, or use the PowerPoint presentation to display the cards. B) Determine in advance the order in which you will take turns.
Peacebuilding exercises enable students to actively participate in resolving injustice and reshape societal structures that promote destructive conflict. Use these peacebuilding activities to help students build the skills needed to use nonviolent methods to take action and promote understanding.
