For many participants, it was important to underline how the description of the game was reflecting some specific cultural nuances and how interesting it was to learn (like males 18-60 y.o. are not allowed to leave the country, etc)
Some of the participants felt that since it’s a distant to them topic they have less relevance to it. For example, when an international player who was The Guardian was to announce their team decision, the participant redirected the responsibility to report it to a Ukrainian one based on the assumption that they may relate better to the topic. Ukrainian player replied: “I understood since it’s a cultural exchange, everyone can relate”. This situation can refer to an ongoing challenge to relate to the topic for people who are not associated with the ongoing refugee crisis.
Additionally, there was feedback that if that were a case of the game about people with refugee experience from Africa, their PhD diplomas most likely would not be taken seriously in Europe.
-sometimes even little girl (or anyone elso who are not typically entitled to make decition) can contribute to making a better decition as they can have a better intuition
-In one of the group one girl was playing character Andrii, took initiative to decide as a “male should make a decition”. Also, it was natural dynamic in the group, since other participants were passive.
-One of the player (male, black) had hard time to identify with a grandma and always used pronounce “she”, not willing to play and acting as “I”
