Presented by ITLAL
If you teach courses in international, global or multi-cultural topics, one of your goals might be to place students in situations where they can actually experience cultural difference rather than just read about it. Simulations can help you do this, as they can be designed to re-create in the classroom the kinds of foreign realities that traditionally only happen in the context of travel and study abroad. In this workshop participants will see in action a cross-cultural exercise called Bafa-Bafa, which can be used with students at all levels. The goals of this particular simulation are to:
- create a situation which allows us to profitably explore the idea of culture
- create feelings which are similar to those one will likely encounter upon travelling to a different culture
- give participants experience in observing and interacting with a different culture
Participants will also learn about several excellent resources on games and simulations for various teaching and learning purposes with a chance to win one in a drawing at the end of the workshop.
