How to involve young people and mobilize them to think about their future? Librarians from the Primary School No. 113 in Wrocław found a good solution! Last Tuesday, they organized an extraordinary ethics lesson. Rather than preparing a lecture or a presentation, they invited students for an exciting session of one of our simulations, New Shores – a Game of Democracy.
Isolated from civilization, the players were struggling to develop a prosperous community on a fictional island. They soon discovered that “[i]t is very difficult to reconcile economic growth with the concern for the environment.” Some also admitted that “[e]thics is not about good intentions. What counts is joint action.”
We are impressed by such valuable insights and we hope that the lesson drawn from the experience will stay with you for a long time!
