FACILITATION GUIDELINES

DEBRIEFING QUESTIONS

Ask players to gather in a circle around the facilitator.
Present a climate change event to the students.
Ask students to pick a stakeholder that is affected by the climate change event and discuss how the event affects them (only a couple stakeholders for this).
Have the remaining players pick a stakeholder that is affected by one or more of the already existing stakeholders.
Have the players discuss how the particular event will affect their stakeholder and how other stakeholders affect them.
Every time there is a connection from one stakeholder to another or from a stakeholder to the climate change event, the players will give each other a string that they will have to hold throughout the game, representing their connection.
At the end of the game, when all connections are made, the climate change event/facilitator will pull on the string and the players will feel the pull/impact that the event has on their stakeholder.
Players will play many rounds with other climate change phenomena to see the different impacts.
After finishing the game(s), explain to the players that there are many things that are not directly connected to climate change, but they still feel the impacts that climate change has.

For this climate change event, who do you think is impacted the most?
How would you prevent this disaster from happening?
From the solutions you just told me, how can we apply them to our everyday lives?
