In the NISO project (2011-2012) four organizations from Belgium, Estonia, Italy and the Netherlands worked together, led by the Province of Rome. They developed a game for students about human rights and sexual diversity. The direct target groups are students and (inter)national policy makers and politicians. The game helps students to express their voice about human rights, and to fight homophobia in schools and the media. That is why the game is called Voice OUT.
