Ask participants to get into the role randomly given. To help, read out some of the following questions:
• What was your childhood like? What sort of house did you live in? What kind of games did you play? What sort of work did your parents do?
• What is your everyday life like now? Where do you socialise? What do you do in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening?
• What sort of lifestyle do you have? Where do you live? How much money do you earn each month? What do you do in your leisure time? What do you do during your holidays?
• What excites you and what are you afraid of?
Debriefing: Start by asking participants about what happened and how they feel about the activity and then go on to talk about the issues raised and what they learnt.
• How did people feel stepping forward - or not?
• For those who stepped forward often, at what point did they begin to notice that others were not moving as fast as they were?
• Did anyone feel that there were moments when their basic human rights were being ignored?
• Can people guess each other's roles? (Let people reveal their roles during this part of the discussion)
• How easy or difficult was it to play the different roles? How did they imagine what the person they were playing was like?
• Does the exercise mirror society in some way? How?
• Which human rights are at stake for each of the roles? Could anyone say that their human rights were not being respected or that they did not have access to them?
• What first steps could be taken to address the inequalities in society?
