Some comments made by some of the participating schools: “Game On enables students to openly discuss issues that would otherwise cause unrest in communities and Game On also allows schools to identify and work with students and families who may have negative views about others.” “Game On helps pupils to understand the impact of all types of discrimination on an individual or group. It encourages pupils to be tolerant if not sympathetic to alternative cultures and beliefs. Teachers who have witnesses the programme in a supporting capacity have picked up methods of approaching sensitive issues. This is important in the school and the community that my school serves.” “Pupils participating in “Game On” became aware of diversity and the need for cooperation between people – our Community Cohesion profile has been raised. A fantastic programme that MUST continue” “As a school “Game On” has enabled us to recognise organisations which exist in our local community and the effect that these can have upon our pupils. Our teachers have a clearer idea of the experiences that some of our pupils are affected by in the wider community and thus assists in an understanding why they sometimes express themselves in challenging ways. I think that “Game On” has been an excellent programme, well presented and dynamic each time.”. “Game On” helps the pupils to learn consideration for the views of others, empathy and conflict resolution also allowing an ability speak freely within appropriately respectful parameters. “Game On” raises awareness and allows pupils to safely ask questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking otherwise. An excellent programme – really well delivered and valuable for all”. “Students were able to work collectively in order to create a piece of theatre. They were able to express opinions about different issues and were educated about the importance of cohesion in building a better society. Students were able to learn about the effects of extremism in our communities. I think the Game On project explores issues that are prevalent within the communities we live in. It is important for young people to recognise the importance of tolerance, cohesion and diversity. The workshops and activities arranged by the “Game On” team successfully tackle these issues and I feel it is important for this work to continue”. “Game On” challenges prejudice – resulting in a student voice review of SEAL objectives. Game On is a fantastic way of approaching an arrange of ‘taboo’ topics for both the staff and students and has helped the school to understand our new intake in more detail”.
