Detta arbete handlar om att undersöka hur vi kan använda oss av det visuella i ett spel för att motivera till samarbete och locka till gemenskap. Vårt intresse låg i att undersöka kring tanken med att inte tänka sig ett spel som enbart en passiv flykt från verkligheten, utan som ett verktyg som kan användas till att motivera till samarbete. Det spel som vi valt att utveckla var bestämt att vara anpassat för barn runt 10-års ålder. Vi valde att använda oss av en metod som heter Layered Elaboration för att lära känna vår målgrupp tydligare, samt få idéer och inspiration till hur vi kan anpassa ett spel för denna målgrupp. Efter att vi haft en workshop tillsammans med barnen på en skola, där vi lät barnen rita vad de kom att tänka på kring olika teman de fått, utvecklade vi en spelbar prototyp som vi sedan lät barnen på samma skola testa för att få en utvärdering.

Another definition is the one of here and there, where the participants defined terrorism and what causes it. Finally, media's role was discussed in relation to the creation of the medie-muslim. To explain the participants' perceptive, part of Appadurai?s Fear of small numbers and part of Brune?s Dark magic in the white media was used..
