Identifying and dismantling prejudice and stereotypes is a key factor of preventing and combating discrimination. Promoting a more positive understanding of the richness brought by diversity also requires countering the myths that contribute spreading populist and hate narratives about it.

“Escape Roomours” is an online interactive, educational tool designed and piloted by Anti-Rumours Global and the Intercultural Cities programme to contribute to develop young people’s intercultural skills and engage them in building rumours-free local and social media ecosystems.

Players will have to solve a series of tests/questions related to the knowledge of human rights and discrimination and stereotypes, so to understand how rumours spread and which strategies are most effective to reduce their negative impact.

The Escape Roomours is more suitable to be played in groups, under the guidance of a facilitator who can use the game to initiate a conversation with the young players with the view to stimulate their critical thinking.

The Manual for facilitators (to be published soon) can be used to prepare for running the game. More information on the Anti-rumours strategy and a whole set of training resources.

Enjoy it!
