Abstract:
This chapter considers games and play in the context of intercultural education. The chapter explores three viewpoints that have been of interest to scholars and educators for decades. These include the issue of perspective-taking and role-play, the question of learning to embrace anxiety and uncertainty, and the power of agency. By contrasting concrete examples with theoretical views, the chapter builds an argument for the potential as well as risks related to games as a potential tool in the intercultural educator's toolbox.
