Progress
Reports:
26 March 2007
The youth are currently concluding the surveys, writing the reports, preparing the essays and developing the game. They decided the following are the questions they need to think about and answer to design the role playing game:
- Goal or aim of the game.
- Define the learning outcomes (what will people have learned once they finish playing the game?)
- Name of the game
- Time required to play the game (cannot be longer than 1 hour)
- Describe the tasks and if you will receive scores
- Number of Players. Do they play individually or paired
- Name and composition of each family
- How do you decide which players play which family role
- How does the game start and how does it come to an end
- How many years do you play?

28 February 2007
Things have been moving slower than expected, because the young people need a lot of help. We have been doing much more to prepare workshops to have the young people highly involved. The idea is that they are working on the workshop modules and we have been having many workshops and meetings to work with them to do so. But we are coming along well. Their computer skills are very low; low internet skills but they are very enthusiastic.
