Using Gameful Design in Equity-Based Civic Engagement

Presenter: Dionne Hines - Assistant to the County Manager, Durham County

Topics: Equity; Civic Engagement

Description:

Inequities, protests, and social unrest have become more visible and as local governments retool their resources through the lens of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice; collaborative decision-making is paramount to addressing the wicked problems communities face. This micro-certificate program is an equity-based coproduction policy lab that uses gameful design to facilitate equity-based civic engagement that particularly engages those that have been traditionally marginalized. Facilitators will guide teams through four phases of gameplay. The first phase will help team members develop a shared understanding of the user experience within a specified policy environment. Phase two will require team members to translate the insights determined from phase one into design criteria and then a set of actions and drawbacks. Phase three will present team members with a set of challenges that encourage team members to refine their action plan through deliberative dialogue. Finally phase four focuses on developing an implementation strategy for the refined action plan.

Objectives:

  • Identify the vulnerabilities necessary for trust and relationship building among groups with diverse viewpoints
  • Identify the nuances needed in consensus building tools to facilitate equitable and collaborative decision-making
  • equity-based collaboration to build the foundation for narrative change and to develop action plans and implementation strategies for local policies that are developed within an equity-based collaborative framework
