** Project Overview
In our society, there are significant elements of unequal treatment of different people, especially with regard to their origin and gender or gender identity. Unfortunately, this also applies to the academic environment, including the STEM domain.
The WISTUM project is a "cooperative discussion game" on the topic of diversity, equity and inclusion in the scientific field. The game allows a group of players to experience the stories and learnings of inspiring individuals who have faced and ultimately overcome significant challenges due to inequality. We want to increase the visibility and recognition of potentially successful but underrepresented groups of people. A game, unlike other passive media, allows players to actively engage with the issue and broaden their own experience.
