Have you ever tried to put yourself in someone else’s shoes? Or have you thought of how difficult the lives of people you know or don’t know, but meet every day may be? 

“Person” is not only a board game, but an innovative way enabling the players to face, analyze and debunk harmful practices and gender stereotypes preventing people from being who they really are.

The board game offers the unique opportunity to passionate gender equality supporters to understand what others may feel in their everyday life and look at things beyond the borders.
