morning event:
oppression, liberation, and the fine line between good and evil:
This game was such a success during the last communities conference that it became impossible to stop.
This is a Live Action Role Play on the ins and outs of both national and international politics, and whether we can change the course of history.
at its core, its a simple game with very complex strategy of how to create international solidarity against oppression, while taking a deep dive into the nature of oppression, power, conflict, facism and pacifism.
noon: amazing vegan lunch cooked on a fox stove
afternoon: community drama role-play game.
this was also such a hit that we need a workshop of its own
we are going to role-play a community meeting and discuss several controversial agenda items while maintaining specific roles.
we are then going to look at how we manage secret agendas and how to discover our inner secret agenda and what we can do about them
limit: 30 participants
