A Shared Story

A Shared Story

The challenge we face is of a particular world - often reflective of a dominant, European-centric, capitalist, rational, secular and patriarchal self. Viewing our challenges through this lens, shapes our reality and our ability to think about what might be possible.

This game invites you to shift towards a more pluriversal perspective encompassing many different ways of being, knowing, making and doing. Taking on the character your pluriversal role cards suggest, consider how you'll face this challenge together.

Begin a discussion as a team, of how you reached your success, given who you are as a collective of characters. The goal is to reflect, engage in generative dialogue and create a truly shared story.

When the dialogue feels complete, spend some time time writing this shared story. How did these characters get to these solutions, together? How do each character’s strengths (or blind spots) contribute to solutions for the group?  What is the chemistry of the team? What emerged out of the group dynamics?
