Games for Nonviolence

Attested since 2,600 BC or even earlier, games are a universal part of human experience and present in all cultures. Games can be educational, cathartic, entertaining, promote ideas, cultivate skills, produce meaningful experiences and bring people together. In this working area we will present the Card Game “13” which is based on the 12 Principles from the book “Silo’s Message”. We will analyze how the game was developed and designed and what is its purpose. We will discuss how games can influence and benefit us and how we can create games that are based on nonviolence, non-discrimination, spirituality, reflection and a change of look.

Catching the eye of someone unknown, and then what?

Continue walking by or say hello?  Touch and let yourself be touched or dodge, turnaround, mistrust?

Then one hand takes another, a head leans to one side and finally comes to rest on the shoulder of someone not so far away from what I am, not so different.

And so the horizon stretches out, breathing takes in more oxygen, kept in balance held by my hands.

To confront yourself to find affinities starting with simple gestures, recognising your own humanity also in the fears of others and calming down, healing and loving others’ vitality.

Discovering yourself capable of concurring…
