Extra game information

The 'Different Abilities, Equal Rights' poster is one of the two posters on the right to development. In the middle of the poster, four main characters - including Amir, one of the secondary characters in the stories of the five characters - are depicted. The green and red rectangles below the main character allow players to talk about barriers and how to make (public) spaces accessible for people with a disability. Around the main characters, one can see 13 circles with devices/tools which can support people with disabilities or disorders. In the four corners, icons are drawn to allow players to discuss the impact of disabilities and disorders on: education, health care, friends/family and play.

Variations

Feel free to include the four dimensions in the four corners of the panel to the discussion by asking to find similarities with the characters in education, health care, friends/family and play.
