PEACE – A Game Challenging the Status Quo

The African Disability Forum (ADF) participated in a three-day Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) training held on March 9 -11 in Hyderabad, India, organized by JICA, HERALBONY, and WE Hub.

Unlike traditional lecture-based trainings, the program used an interactive game called PEACE, inspired by Tsudoi no Syūkan (The Habit of Gathering) by Teppei Kasahara, to explore the concept of equity. The sessions targeted CEOs, HR professionals, and women entrepreneurs and encouraged creativity, empathy, and reflection through engaging activities.

ADF was represented by Mrs. Bethelehem Zewde, who also had the opportunity to present an overview on Disability status in Africa, Ethiopia and ADF, visit NGOs, and network with startups in India.

ADF sincerely thanks JICA for this opportunity and congratulates HERALBONY and WE Hub for their inspiring work. We look forward to seeing similar initiatives introduced in Africa to help transform narratives around disability and persons with disabilities.

Card used during training depicts a stylized figure with a bottle-shaped head labeled with letters, walking forward while making a peace sign. The figure has a lightbulb illustrated on its body, set against a teal background, with the number “1” and the letter “I” shown on the card.
Card used during training depicts a green background filled with small white illustrations of diverse human figures and characters in various poses and activities, forming a dense, repeating pattern across the card.
