A race to the top? A critical reflection on meritocratic structures in the modern capitalist world

Which factors influence one's achievements and standings in society? Do we earn them? How do we earn them? Which role does merit play? All these and more aspects will be discussed in a real-life board game. In a snakes and ladder-like game you will be playing the game pieces yourself. Social dilemmas, neck-to-neck races and lively discussions will await you. The aim of the workshop is to learn and reflect about structures, mechanisms and narratives that justify and perpetuate modern capitalist oppression.
