Last week, Mobilizing Expertise (MEXPERT) had the pleasure of hosting the first transnational meeting of our newest Erasmus+ project: Stereotype Smashers – The Gender Equality Game. Together with our partner Glow and Itineris. The meeting took place in Ideon Science Park, and bought partners from Italy to begin co-developing a board game aimed at tackling gender stereotypes in the workplace.
After welcoming our partners and introducing our organisations, we started checking the project overview and goals. MEXPERT led a session sharing our field analysis of gender-focused games already on the market, highlighting key trends and gaps the new game can address. Later, our Italian partner presented results from their local focus groups, offering valuable insights into how gender stereotypes are perceived in different contexts.
Of course, no MEXPERT meeting would be complete without great food and fika! We shared lunch at Laziza and wrapped up the day with a relaxed dinner, reflecting on a strong start to what promises to be a meaningful and creative project. We’re looking forward to the next steps in smashing stereotypes—one game move at a time!
We now have focus groups coming up over the next few weeks in Sweden- interested in taking part. Send us a message or email!
