Tool Description
This workshop gives the chance to enter the world of SSE values, simulate the activity of a SSE organisation and later discuss/reflect in group on the choices done.
ISSEgame is an online game that simulates the management of an SSE organisation/enterprise, discovering the core values and the competencies required in Social and Solidarity Economy initiatives.
The workshop is developed in 4 steps:
- Knowing each other
- Debate on SSE dimensions
- Intro on ISSE project (and the SSE tools produced)
- ISSEgame, let’s play! with a final debriefing and feedback
It introduces the need to focus on the SSE values, competences and collaborators’ profiles of an organisation that wants to implement projects and be sustainable. To play the game means to bring all these aspects at practical level. It also implies debate and management decisions.
At the end, the discussion and debriefing about participants’ choices during the game give a learning value to the gaming experience.
Aims
- to reflect and discuss in group on the values/principles of SSE;
- to introduce the holistic vision of ISSE project and all its connected production, which leads to ISSEgame;
- to explain the process of building up the game, the game rules, to play simulating the activity of a SSE organisation and to reflect on the game practice.
