1 wereld
1 world is an interactive game using dialogue and interaction between the participants to instigate debate and discussion about disability and the relation between the North and the South. Target group: Children (+ 14) and adults with or without disability.
1 world tells the story of 6 people with or without disabilities. They come from totally different countries, build up their own lives and make their own choices. The importance and educational value of the game lies in the debate about the choices people make and, more importantly, about the circumstances that influence these choices.

The game 1 world is the tangible result of the cooperation between the project 1 World and the organizations PHOS, Feniks Unit and De Stroom.
