Minetest a successful concept
Minetest, a free open-world game engine, offers a wide range of applications not only in the educational sector, but also for social institutions and the participation of marginalized groups.
In the educational context, Minetest is successfully used to create interactive learning environments. Schools use the platform across subjects, from replicating historical buildings to chemical models. The State Media Center Baden-Württemberg and the Evangelical Academy in Wittenberg show the potential of Minetest for innovative learning approaches.
For social institutions, Minetest opens up new ways of youth work and participation. Youth institutions such as the Kulti Biesenthal used the Minetest server as a virtual meeting point to maintain contacts during the Corona pandemic. This enables social interaction and promotes a sense of community, even when face-to-face meetings are not possible.
Minetest is particularly valuable for the participation of marginalized groups. The low barrier to entry and the ability to visually represent complex ideas make it an ideal tool for inclusive participation processes. In urban planning projects such as "The Blue Ribbon" in Dresden Children and young people were actively involved in the design of their environment through Minetest workshops. Their virtually created designs were forwarded to city authorities, allowing direct participation in decision-making processes.
Visual communication in Minetest helps to overcome language barriers and enables people with limited language skills or communication difficulties to participate actively. This is particularly valuable for the inclusion of minorities or people with disabilities in participation processes.
By combining playful learning and serious participation, Minetest creates a space where marginalized groups can contribute their ideas and develop creative skills. This not only promotes individual development, but also contributes to a more inclusive society where different perspectives are heard.
