This innovative workshop from SINCE 9/11, builds on the success of our ‘What if 9/11 happened today?’ workshop, which aims to build critical thinking skills and foster digital literacy in recognising conspiracy theories and propaganda online.
This interactive, role-playing workshop will encourage students to think critically about how countries can respond to terrorist attacks such as 9/11, 7/7 or the Paris 2015 attacks. The students are put in the shoes of the leadership of a variety of nations, all with different characteristics, including some democratic and others autocratic. These nations have just suffered massive, shocking terror attacks, on the scale of September 11th.
Students will be presented with a range of options to discuss as a cabinet and will be expected to choose a response while justifying and contextualising their choice in accordance with the conditions of their own assigned nation-state.
Our objective is to develop and encourage the following:
Time: 90 mins
Age range: Tailored for Year 9 up to 6th Form
Class size: Up to 30
