Insignia

A game-based experience that sparks reflection, dialogue, and social change

Spain · Europe · Smilemundo

Project description

At first glance, Insignia appears to be a simple communication game in which participants collectively create a group symbol, reconstruct the story of a fractured community, and imagine its future. But beneath this playful structure, the experience reveals something deeper – a space to experience how easily social exclusion can emerge and how often indifference quietly shapes group dynamics. Instead of lectures or moralizing, Insignia invites participants to experience, reflect, and discuss. Because lived experience can shift awareness in ways that explanation alone often cannot.

Impact

More than 150 young people participated in the development and testing of Insignia. The game helps participants recognize patterns of indifference in themselves and others, understand how individual choices shape group dynamics, and reflect on their own responses to exclusion, conformity and responsibility. Through shared experience and reflection, it encourages greater self-awareness, empathy and active engagement.
