SIMULATIONS:

AIDS X-Perience (age group: l4 - Adult)

Participants walk through the life of individuals who have come into contact with HIV/AIDS and, at the end, are “tested” to see if they are positive. They live, in a simulated way, the realities of war, poverty, poor medical care, abusive treatment and wrong life choices.

Refugee Run (age group: 16 - Adult)

Participants face simulated attacks, mine fields where they may be ‘injured’, life in a refugee camp, hunger, illness, lack of education, corruption and uncertain shelter or safety. Participants may also be marched under guard, subjected to ambush and, ultimately, offered a chance of re-settlement where they must re-build their lives.

Some, Tonnes, None (age group: 16 - Adult)

Participants must deal, first hand, with the unequal distribution of food on our planet. By the end of this exercise, they understand why hunger is, by far, the biggest killer in the world today.
