Target Group
The workshops were dedicated to pupils of secondary school between 15 and 17 years. Moreover, we held a Training-of-Trainers-Seminar for local trainers working in the field of non-formal-education. The eagerness of learning the method of simulation gaming was overwhelming and we wish them all the best for their own implementations.
Project Goals
The main goal of the workshops series was to raise the awareness about the already existing mechanisms for citizen participation in Chile. Due to the simulation game the motivation of the pupils to learn and understand the different possibilities of citizens taking part in legal decision-making-processes was great and thus the overall learning effect was very high.
Some of the regular teachers couldn't believe their eyes when they saw their own pupils enjoying the method of simulatoin gaming. Furthermore, we passed on the tailor-made simulation game (Los Alamos) to local trainers of non-formal education, in order to have even greater impact in the future. Both goals were fully reached and we are very happy to have had the chance to implement these activities in cooperation with the Konrad-Adenauer-Foundation.
