Resilience Finders: Book of Invisible Paths uses creativity to support personal and societal wellbeing and build resilience

A 'Ministry of Imagination Virtual University' has video’s of how to set up and play the game and a range of resilience building exercises that can be downloaded and printed or completed online.

The story adventure consists of a journey across a fantasy land with challenges and tasks to complete along the way and milestones to reach. Players carry a virtual backpack that they fill with resilience. They collect a toolkit of strategies in the form of personal development exercises to help them make choices and move forward with their lives. Within the safety of the fiction we focus on confidence and self-esteem building, empathy and a positive mind-sets, fear of failure, stress triggers and how to deal with them and fear of change; building healthy behaviours, better relationships and better communities. The design and content of this programme draws on the team’s extensive in-depth knowledge and over 25 years experience writing and delivering education programmes and creative workshops with both adults and young people, in formal and informal learning environments.

Play Makes Us Human:

The bright colourful game format is designed to increase mental wellbeing and motivate people to enjoy themselves, raising Oxytocin levels and giving them a lift. People use their imaginations and escape into an alternative world while addressing their own real life issues and feeling supported along the way.

Adaptability:

The beauty of this toolkit is its adaptability. You choose the timeframe, length and structure of the game and pick and mix the personal development exercises that suit your organisation, group or class best. You can also play with between 2 or up to 36 people at a time.
