What Is A Role Play

Characters act out a predefined situation

There is no script but there is a description(which you will have to write & present to us first)

The role play itself will take place in Second Life

The play will be followed by impromptu analysis and discussion

Why do we do role plays?

It's fun (or rather: it can be fun, might also be emotionally painful)

Opportunity for the you to see your own situation from the outside

Opportunity for others to experience your problem setting „from the inside“, as it were

Opportunity for a richer discussion about professional issues — you automatically go „deeper“

What will you have to do?

Present a problem description (situation) to us (no more than one paragraph identifying issues and main actors)

Be present for the role play and the post-mortem

Briefly document the initial situation (your description), what you saw (during the role play) and what you got out of it (if anything).

If you didn't get anything out of it that'll be very worth reflecting and documenting, too!
