INFORMAL CARE

In the Netherlands, 1 on 4 young people grow up in a family where someone needs care. That has a big impact on their lives. They often feel lonely and misunderstood. That’s why Shapers developed an educational package for young people in the age of 14 to 18 years old to open up the conversation.

Improvisation Theater

The package starts with a real eye opener, a playful and interactive theater experience to explore the theme.

The Board Game

In small groups, every player crawls in the role of caretaker, caregiver or friend of the caregiver. Recognizable dilemmas are presented and discussed. The choices have consequences for every player. The goal of the game is to finish together, so this is only achievable by working together.

Discussion

Finally, under the guidance of a teacher or care professional, the players reflect on their role in the game.
