Objectives
The participants (in groups) play the roles of students at Whose School High School. At the start of the school year, their principal, Mr. Blop, proudly announced that the school had signed the Charter for Committed High Schools in Luxembourg, thereby demonstrating its commitment to fair trade.
Six months later, the students are challenged to: View the Charter and investigate to see if the high school has actually kept its promises. To do this, they explore different rooms and areas of the high school in search of puzzles to solve.
Every time they solve a puzzle, they earn producer fact sheets which will enable them to learn about the challenges facing the various supply chains, as well as the Fairtrade movement’s response to these issues.
In the second part of the game, each group uses this information to prepare a advocacy that they will present to Mr. Blop: Have they found evidence that the high school complies with the Charter? What improvements are they proposing?
Methodological approaches
This immersive game allows students to:
- Learn about the principles of fair trade and sustainability through a fun investigation; ;
- Develop their critical thinking skills by comparing commitments with reality; ;
- Speak out to defend their ideas and put forward concrete proposals.
Remarks
A maximum of 25 students, divided into groups of 3–4 students. Each group will need a computer (no tablets); a computer lab or a room equipped with one PC per group is required.
