Simulation Exercise
This exercise was created during Social Inclusion through Music youth exchange, which was held in Kutina from July 21-31. The participants create short plays in which they have to explain various music subcultures.
- develop tolerance, inclusion and acceptance of others
- understand how young people use music to rebel against the society
- group building
The participants are divided into groups. Every group gets one music subculture and it has to present this subculture through a play lasting 3-5 minutes. In the Social Inclusion through Music the participants presented the following subcultures:
- hippies
- punks
- emos
- gangsta rap
- rock
- juggalots
- goths.
In this play the participants have to answer the following questions:
- what are the values of this subculture?
- how are they different from mainstream values?
- why did this subculture arise?
- why is this subculture appealing to young people?
The participants also have to look like that subculture so they have to borrow clothes from other participants, if necessary. They should also wear make-up, if necessary. Finally, they need to have an appropriate hair-style.
Through this exercise the participants will learn more about why some of their peers look and dress differently. They will learn to focus on the values behind this difference in looks. This will make them more tolerant, accepting and inclusive to young people who look and behave differently from them.
