We aim to tackle conflict management in a playful efficient way blending collective intelligence and gamification techniques.
Indeed, games can be a powerful tool to handle emotionally charged situations, as their playful nature puts distance between the topic and the participants, enabling them to share in a more truthful manner. In addition, game rules are preventing negativity by proving a strong frame for discussions and easy to enforce boundaries. Lastly, collaborative games bring focus toward the game’s goal, leveraging competitiveness to foster co-creation and collective intelligence.
In this co-creation workshop based on experience sharing, participants will use custom-made dominos to share the chain of actions and reactions of a specific past conflictual situation they want to improve. In the second part of the workshop, the domino mechanic will be used to propose alternative actions and collectively craft a better outcome to the situation, tapping on their own knowledge as well as some theoretical pointer given by the facilitators. Hence will they bring a satisfying conclusion to the specific situation and collectively improve their conflict resolution skills.
