Game(s)Changer: »Café Divers« – Presentation and Games Afternoon

How do we want to live together in the future? What societal structures shape how we interact – and how can we question them through play?

These questions were at the heart of the workshop series »Play a New Bevölkerung«, developed as part of the project »Game(s)Changer«. Together with young people from Stuttgart (ages 18–28) and fellows from the Akademie Schloss Solitude, games were played, analyzed, reimagined, and reinvented – as an artistic form of engaging with social issues.

With the final event »Café Divers«, the participants of the workshop series now invite you to a presentation, discussion, and game session:
The »Game(s)Changer« workshop team took on the board game classic Café International – and gave it a critical makeover.
In the 1989 »Game of the Year«, people were placed in a café and sorted by nationality. More than 35 years later, there are new ideas about how a society defines itself – and how it should interact.

In two new versions – Café Divers – the game becomes a starting point for exploring questions of identity, encounters, and diversity within an urban society.

Come by, join the game, and keep the conversation going – over coffee, cake, and conversations.
Outdoors in good weather, indoors if it rains.
