Snakes and Ladders and learning to live together in diversity
Background
The game snakes and ladders came from the Indian game translated as “The game of Knowledge”. Developed in 2nd Century BC it was originally developed as a tool to educate people about Hindu values. Each of the 72 squares on the board represented different positive and negative values. The ladders started with positive values and the snakes were found on squares showing negative values. This game was westernised in the nineteenth century and values were removed from the game.
Project Idea
We are excited about the possibility of finding partners to collaboratively design a new game of snakes and ladders, around the key values needed so that people can learn to live together in diversity.
