| Title: |
Master of Diversity Trivial Contest |
| Summary: |
You can use Add@Me Trivial as a
powerful and very funny tool in your awareness raising workshops. Add@Me
Trivial is a multilingual, accessible, and free to use online tool which consists
of a series of quizzes regarding different aspects of visual impairment:
- Disability knowledge
- Braille code
- Sports
- Art & Music
- History
- Assistive Technologies
There is a special quiz “Master of Diversity” that includes
a mix of questions from all the topics above.
The game can be played individually or in teams, by sharing
a user account. Every time you take a quiz it will contain a different set of
random questions. After every attempt you will get feedback about your answers,
and your score. Those players who pass the quiz (5 out of 10 right answers are
needed) will receive a badge. There is a time limit of 20 minutes to complete
each attempt.
The different contest types you can organise
with this tool only depends on your imagination. We will give you here just one
idea. Adapt it to your needs!

| Reflection and evaluation questions: |
After the activity,
the facilitator can propose questions like: How do you feel about your team
cooperation? What could be improved? What have you learnt about teamworking?
What have you learnt about visual impairments?
|
| Possible risk factors: |
Technical issues may
arise. Make sure that someone with basic technical skills is available in your
team.
|
| Variations: |
Many different contests can be organised, both for teams and
individuals. For example:
- Multilingual contest: Choose one of the quizzes
and challenge the teams to get the more badges in different languages they can,
for the same quiz.
- All in one team: Use just one Add@Me Trivial
account for all the workshop participants. They will have to answer your
questions (from the quiz) one by one in round.

Get your badges first: The first team in getting
a determined number of badges will win the game.
