During the simulation game participants slipped into the role of local actors living in the fictitious small town of Taberlingen located in the state of Hessen. As members of the municipality, labour union, local non-governmental organizations and representatives of different political parties, the participants searched for appropriate solutions to the challenges of accommodating and integrating a relatively high number of  newly arrived refugees. Assuming the positions of the different actors, participants were able to experiment with different argumentation and communication strategies. Through this experience, they experienced a wide range of emotions connected to debating values and core ideas and learned to reflect on their own communication habits.
