Role Play: Your Way Towards Understanding. Kolin, Czech Republic, 2022.

The "Role Play: Your Way Towards Understanding" training course is being held in Kolin, Czech Republic.

The goal of the program is to increase awareness about human rights through the use of role play.

Throughout the week, participants shared their knowledge on human rights and violations of those rights in their respective countries, providing real life examples and stories. The group made tough decisions about characters with different backgrounds and perspectives and worked to challenge prejudices and see stories from different viewpoints.

A game about critical thinking taught the participants the importance of evaluating information, data, and news from reliable sources, and to question how information is shared and presented. The group learned that it's necessary to investigate and reach transparent pieces of information to make informed decisions.

Overall, the "Role Play: Your Way Towards Understanding" training course is a unique and impactful way to raise awareness about human rights, encouraging participants to think critically, challenge prejudices, and see different perspectives.
