The cards

Watch, think, reflect and discuss Observe and debate the future of rights

The teaching tool consists of a box containing 25 thematic cards, 2 wild cards on intersectionality and the axis of oppressions and privileges, a historical poster and a guide with instructions (in Italian and English).

The methodologies on which the tool is based are gamification and visual philosophy, to stimulate reflection starting from an image, to discuss and debate the major themes of feminism, intersectional feminism and human rights (in particular, women’s rights), encouraging critical thinking and reasoning.

There are many ways to play. The rule is that there are no rules. You can find all the instructions for playing in the guide. The guide also contains a number of ice-breaking techniques, concluding activities to end the game and an extensive bibliography by theme and on gender studies (in Italian only).

The creator and project manager of EmpowerMe

Valentina Cassarà

Freelance learning designer and project manager, born in Palermo and raised in Sicily, in a small village near the province of Trapani.

After graduating in Law and qualifying as a lawyer, she moved to other regions of Italy and then abroad (Barcelona, Spain, and Berlin, Germany).

She deals with rights, training, youth and culture. He does this thanks to European programmes and funding, such as Erasmus and Creative Europe.

After the end of the pandemic, she returned to Sicily because she believes that it is the most disadvantaged territories, such as the South of Italy, that most need her work and the practical and cultural stimuli that European planning can bring.

She considers herself a very creative person: she enjoys writing and design. She collaborates with companies, associations and other bodies in the field of training and creativity, as well as with various cultural operators based abroad.
