Immigrants from the Donbass have dedicated Board game

In the game given all the problems faced by immigrants.

The Ministry of social policy has released a Board game “Pereselentsy Lukanina” (Wandering migrant – Approx.ed).

Developed the game “NGO Adviser on IDPs” with the support of the Ministry of social policy, and international partners.

In the scenario modeled 76 situations that describe ordinary events in the lives of people who are forced because of war to leave their homes and start a new life in foreign cities. To develop it also helped the real immigrants who are faced with the complexities of this status.

“The aim of this social game – step by step to show the path of the migrant from the moment the decision about moving and crossing checkpoints, the processing of payments, payment of utilities and obtaining lost documents and until one has fully adapted to life in the new environment. Thus, it is possible to tell available to the wide public in our country about the difficulties of immigrants, they face daily, and to draw attention to the violation of the rights and problems of integration of this category of citizens of Ukraine”, – explains the idea of the game is the coordinator of the project Olga Ivanova.

The game is a classic RPG with a field, dice and chips and is designed for 3-5 people. The game lasts 60-90 minutes.

“We offer players to reincarnate in an internally-displaced person and try to go all the way, which is well known to every settler. Take turns to throw the dice and move chips to the number of moves that are coming. Read the description of the situation and further guidance to action. If you do not have the strength to move forward, You can always return to live on the uncontrolled territory,” the creators describe the essence of the Ira.

Artist, author of drawings of the game Olga Gordienko told what the situation is in the game moved her the most. She’s at number 89 on the playing field.

“To look after a sick relative, you are forced to return to the uncontrolled territory. On the way try not to die, not to lose their money and life there is cheap. Due to the fact that you looked after a relative for more than 90 days, your IDP status is cancelled. Start the game first”.

135 points – game over! “Finally managed to get a new place, where you will be able to build their own homes on an equal footing with other citizens of Ukraine. However, this does not mean that you have the same opportunities they had. It is possible that you will have to sue for the right to retire or return to the place of previous residence. Life will never be the same again, but believe me, for millions of people in the country have their homes in a safe place – this is a big victory!”.

Themselves immigrants to the extreme skeptical embraced innovation from the Ministry of social policy.

“I have mats on the tongue in large quantities. The fact that for thousands of families – grief, loss, death and disease – for the most sensitive of Kiev Board game. I explain to them that this way – I want to evoke empathy in people. I think the settlers will be happy to cooperate and send startups and Minsoc – real travel: first to the mined side of any of the checkpoints on the demarcation line, right? I wonder why still no game “genotsidik” or “bury a relative”, or anything based on “the Oncology Department”, – says Irina, a migrant from Donetsk, who lives in Kiev.
