Do you want to talk about what really matters in life? Do you want to spend good time among people close to you — or people you have never met?
„Otwarcie być ze sobą” (Openly, together) is not an ordinary game in which you collect points and win. Above all — besides time spent creatively and with interest — „Otwarcie” is a useful connector that lets you get to know yourself and others better, in a safe atmosphere. Success in the game needs only one thing: openness, because only openness lets us answer the questions that come up honestly. Who wins? Every player who opens up to the others. In doing so they gain greater self-awareness and come to know the people close to them better.
What the game is for:
For families and friends: a chance to get to know one another better and to open up to talking about emotions, or to share life experience.
For meeting groups (support groups, associations and so on): a chance to get to know one another better and to share the life experience that deepens mutual relationships.
For therapists and facilitators: support in therapy, a chance to work through emotional coping skills and assertiveness in a safe atmosphere, and to build support networks.
For therapists, „Otwarcie być ze sobą” is a tool that:
👉 allows creative work with the family and social system;
👉 invites conversation about values, needs and emotions in an engaging way — in therapy for people on the autism spectrum, people with mental health difficulties, shy people, and for families and people living with long-term illness, when discussing care, needs and concern;
👉 supports people who are lonely (building a „psychological family”) and helps create support networks for those who need them;
👉 helps support adoptive and foster families;
👉 is adapted for blind and partially sighted players;
👉 helps draw up a life balance in work with older people;
👉 builds a bridge between people with disabilities and people without;
👉 builds a bridge between generations;
👉 helps deepen bonds and create closer relationships in families and in meeting, self-help and therapeutic groups;
👉 supports the emotional development of children and young people in education;
👉 has two unique mechanisms: the Circle of Openness — a scoring version (for 2–6 players) — and the Mandala of Emotions — a cooperative version (for 2–15 players).
The original version of the game was created in the project „Jesteś przy mnie. Dziękuję” (I am here with you. Thank you) under the Dobre. Innowacje grant run by SWIG Delta Partner in cooperation with Zamek Cieszyn. The game we offer grew out of a creative expansion of that grant version of „Otwarcie”.
