Role-Playing-Games Facilitation and Security – Accessible version

This unit is about how to facilitate a transformative role-playing game, including materials on facilitation and safety design as well as a demo video of the ROCKET team role-playing with these facilitation techniques.
The goal of the scenarios is to approach the positions, interests, feelings, and core basic needs involved in conflicts, including issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). The short scenarios feature common situations in higher education institutions involving students, teachers, and administrative staff. Embedded in the scenarios are issues related to power, belonging, freedom, fun, and safety/security.

ROCKET teaches theory and practice on addressing conflicts in everyday life through an engaging method: role-playing games. Such components make up the building blocks of successful conflict transformation in the future, empowering participants with skills to help address issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion in their lives, whether in higher education or beyond.
