The authors discuss Mind the Five, a participatory card game to help increase awareness of privacy protections of undocumented migrants and other vulnerable populations. Mind the Five and other participatory games can be used in public libraries and small humanitarian organizations to promote safe and engaging information spaces for migrants and refugees. Participatory games provide a supportive and unique approach to building safe spaces that allow participants to discuss and engage with issues on a personal level in a fun and creative way. Combined with other active learning experiences, such as participatory photography and co-design activities, Mind the Five is an educational tool to help bring stronger awareness of the vulnerabilities of undocumented migrants, and to encourage information practices that better protect the privacy of migrants and other vulnerable populations.
