Target Group

The activity targets young active persons from Kyrgyzstan as well as selected representatives of organizations working on research in the field of religion. This primary target group will be trained in writing and facilitating simulation games. The local workshops target young people from the three different regions in Kyrgyzstan who are interested in learning about religion.

Project Goals

The activity has the main aim to empower young people to form their own opinion on questions regarding religion. In order to achieve this, young people need to be able to gather reliable information about religion as well as strengthen their capacities in analytical and critical thinking. These abilities are targeted by the simulation game. Furthermore, the project aims at building the capacity of young persons and organizations working on research in the field religion to develop and facilitate simulation games.
