In response to a need for modern civics education in post-Soviet Moldova, Humanity in Action teamed up with the U.S. Peace Corps, Moldovan university students and the Moldovan NGO MilleniuM for a conference designed to explore diversity and democracy and develop innovative simulation games to teach human rights and active citizenship in the small post-Soviet country.
From March 20-25, twenty-five participants gathered in the capital Moldovan capital of Chisinau to explored current political conflicts, minority issues, and intercultural challenges in the region. The conference was the first phase of the project “Simulation Games for Teaching Human Rights and Active Citizenship in Post-Soviet Moldova”, and produced two draft simulation games to be facilitated throughout Moldova during phase two of the project.
