About this event
The CESA 6 Poverty Simulation is a 3 hour immersive and interactive experience. Attendees are assigned to participate as either a member of a family or a worker at agency with an accompanying story and role. Participants will be challenged to navigate work, school, community, and social systems with the resources they have been given while managing unexpected events along the way. This experience provides the opportunity to interactively role play one month in the life of a human experiencing poverty. Facilitated opportunities to process the experience and consider the implications in your school community will follow.
