Simulation Exercise
Suitcase - an experiential game for understanding of migrations
'Suitcase' is a simulation game for better understanding of migrations, facilitated by a youth worker who guides participants through the game and leads them through the reflection process.
Aims of the tool
The aim of the game 'Suitcase' is to strengthen intercultural competencies and increase empathy
amongst young people. The game primarily
focuses on developing participant's awareness, understanding and empathy in relation to refugee and migrant issues (as well as other socially vulnerable groups).
Description of the tool
The activity takes about 2 hours in total and is divided into three parts: in the first part the participants talk about the general meaning of migrations and their images about it, in the second part they discover different reasons for migrations. The game recreates the scenario of individuals being found in alarming situations where they have to flee their homeland. In the third part the participants then have to pack for a long journey and leave their homeland forever heading to an unknown destination. And in the last part the game concludes with a reflection and answers to a question "What can I as an idividual do for better uderstanting of migrations in my local environment?".
