SUMMARY:ROCKET Outreach Conference #3
DESCRIPTION:Inter/Faces: Experiences with Interculturality and Diversity around Critical Virtual Exchange\nHow can we account for diversity in higher education and promote equal opportunities? How can we adapt to a teaching context which not only becomes increasingly intercultural\, but has also moved from the analog into the digital realm in recent years? And how can we navigate the conflicts that arise\, learn about ourselves\, and foster the wellbeing of students\, lecturers\, and administrative staff alike? \n\nImportant Links\nZoom link for hybrid presentations\nBecause not all speakers are able to attend the sessions in person\, we will be streaming the following presentations via Zoom: \nThuesday\, May 5:\n14:00-15:00 – Session II: (Neuro)Diversity and Roleplaying Games\n• Learning Neurodiversity and Cognitive Alterity by Doing: A Game-Based Pedagogy for Developing Cognitive Empathy\n(Dr. Rebecchi)\n• Teleneuro: Results and Findings from a Neurodivergent TTRPG Design Workshop (Dr. Femia) \n15:45-16:15 – Session III: On Gender\, Equity and Becoming a Researcher\n• The Sexist Journalism Observatory as an Interface for DEI: Critical Virtual Exchange and Role-Play in Journalism Education\n(Dr. Taboada-Castell and Dr. Merchan-Mota) \nTo reach a wider audience the three keynote speeches will be hybrid as well.\nTopic: ROCKET Outreach Conference ZOOM\nhttps://uni-goettingen.zoom-x.de/j/66730494679?pwd=fHaEB6UIb1pF8bB89ht6RJYe2zE24J.1\nMeeting-ID: 667 3049 4679\nKenncode: 470350 \nTo join online\, click on the link and follow the instructions. \n\nOutreach Event Programme\nThe main language of the conference will be English.

Designing a Meaningful Career Within and Beyond Academia (Maut)\n\n  \nThe presentations address one of the project areas and place a strong focus on Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion. We are interested in various kinds of inter/faces; a term which we take to extend to intercultural exchange\, diversity\, digital teaching formats and how they can connect participants across the globe. We also apply this term to conflict transformation and role-playing games\, which allow us to interact playfully by putting on a different face. Topics include\, but are not limited to: \n\nState-of-the-art approaches to promoting Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in Higher Education\, from a research\, teaching\, or administrative perspective \nIntercultural exchange and learning experiences in a physical and/or digital setting \nImplementing inclusive and equitable teaching in Critical Virtual Exchange \nRole-Playing Games in Relation to Critical Virtual Exchange and/or DEI \nPerspectives on Diversity and Conflict Transformation \n\nThere is no participation fee. We offer a 300€ travel subsidiary to all speakers.  To (non-speaker) administrative staff who are interested in attending\, we recommend checking with your local International Office about the possibility of Erasmus+ staff mobility funding in this context. The event will take place on-site in Göttingen. The conference rooms are accessible via elevator. In case of questions\, please contact rocket@uni-goettingen.de. Since places are limited\, earlier registrations may be prioritized.  \n\nThe project ROCKET (“Role-Playing Games on Conflict Transformation for Equity in Higher Education through Virtual Exchange”) began in 2024. The project’s main objective is to develop a blueprint for Critical Virtual Exchange (cf. Hauck)\, which integrates interpersonal and conflict transformation skills as well as the innovative teaching format of online role-playing games\, in order to deepen intercultural understanding and appreciation of diversity in higher education. Initiated in the ENLIGHT network and conceived by the universities of Göttingen\, Groningen\, and Uppsala\, ROCKET is a cooperation partnership funded by Erasmus+. Accordingly\, it combines areas of expertise from all three institutions and thereby addresses matters of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion (Göttingen)\, Critical Virtual Exchange (Groningen)\, and Role-Playing Games and Conflict Transformation (Uppsala). \nReference: Hauck\, Mirjam: From Virtual Exchange to Critical Virtual Exchange and Critical Internationalization at Home (2023-07-03).
