An educational long-term roleplay simulation programme “The Mystery of Mr. H and Ms. Rights”

Aims of the tool

This long-term simulation aims to introduce the concepts of human rights education in a more immersive and engaging way (simulation) to target not only participants' knowledge and skills, but also their attitudes towards human rights.

Description of the tool

Participants in a human rights education training find a mysterious box containing old artefacts and a 1930 newspaper article describing tragic events in the hotel where they are now staying. The article describes a crime that happened in the hotel during the Peace Conference in 1930, but the part where the murderer's name is mentioned is missing from the newspaper. The participants try to find out what happened, travel to another reality and appear in this hotel in 1930, 5 days before the peace conference was to take place.
Participants must find out what happened in this hotel, help to hold the peace conference that could prevent World War 2, and find their way back to their own time and place.

This is an educational long-term role-playing simulation programme about human rights education, discrimination and more. The simulation programme is designed for 5 days of training and each day is a chapter. The programme is designed for groups of 10-30 people.
