Around 1 000 visitors could join a range of different activities in Stara trznica (Old Market) in Bratislava on October 14th: workshops for children, drumbeating with the music group La3no Cubano, Global kitchen, interviews with volunteers and field workers, discussion on migration and solidarity, the benefit concert.
The participants of the Development Day older than 10 years could join the game On the Run to experience dilemmas that refugees from Syria face on their journey to Europe. For a while they became a wife/a husband with two children made by the conflict to sell their house, flee the homeland and risk their lives on the journey to Europe.
The gamers had fun when they were trying to persuade the estate agent they should get more money for their house or when they were supposed to make a paper boat and sail from Turkey to Greece in a bowl filled by water.
But they also found out how it feels to be cheated by a smuggler whom they paid lots of money to travel to Europe by land and to be made spend last money to take the risky travel by sea.
The game was found interesting by the vice-premier and the minister of foreign and European affairs, Miroslav Lajcak who participated in the Development Day, too.
