Poverty Simulation Workshop
Poverty Simulation is a role-playing experience offering the opportunity to learn more about the realities of living in conditions of poverty. It is a simulation, not a game. Participants enter the workshop with a new identity and family profile. The task of the "families" is to provide for basic necessities and shelter during the course of four 15-minute weeks. Through this experience, ordinary people from all walks of life can share a very special kind of awakening. The Poverty Simulation Workshop can open people's eyes to the human cost of poverty. The power of this unique learning resource is that it creates, like no other method, an insight into the state of chronic crisis that consumes so many working poor families.
Join us Tuesday, Aug. 17, noon - 3 p.m. at Mercy Medical Center.
