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 three-year 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.
