Based on feedback, trainers may elaborate on learning tasks, clarify misunderstandings, or make adjustments for future role-plays. The trainer acknowledges the overall emotional involvement of learners, whose self-reflection can be integrated throughout the role-play and after each session, so that the trainer has a better understanding and a more rounded picture of how the activity is going. Facilitation of the Role-playing Simulation Training Tips for Briefing The briefs for all participants of the role-playing should be unambiguous and totally in line with the objectives. You must use a clear introduction informing participants about the purpose of the game, the goals, and your own (and/or program-based) motives and situational definitions. Provide the background knowledge information on climate change that needs to be reviewed for the simulation, along with key themes and contextual details of the scenario. Be well-prepared by taking into account as many aspects of the theme as possible and focus on what is expected from trainees. You act as facilitator of the role-playing, introducing the game play and the simulation model, before officially opening the role-playing action. Adequate time should be given to trainees to read the scenario case, get familiar with their roles and ask questions. More information about these tips can be found here. Tips for actual Role-Play Take on the role of observer and interject only if and whenever necessary. Despite being present, you will have no active role in the play. Let the simulation flow with each new pledge added. Invest time to hear proposal speeches from each delegate and monitor the simulation scenario run. Try to remain silent, minimize your advocacy and let the role-play do its work. Set enough time and space for the delegates (groups) to negotiate. Allow them to be engaged in multiple rounds of negotiations, so as to achieve objectives and reach a breakthrough agreement or solution (ideally by consensus). Your task is to set up actors to learn through the role-play, stretch themselves personally and engage as much as possible. It is important to remind them of the rules, so that they stay in their roles and/or use appropriate communication skills. Tips for Debriefing When negotiations have been concluded and final decisions have been made by actors, the debriefing discussion takes place. It is the most important stage of the simulation and it may take more time than the actual play (even twice as that). To save time during debrief, you may pose questions that apply to all, and wait for hands, or texting in the chat box, or votes by everyone. Another idea is to invite learners to take 1 minute of silence to reflect on future possibilities. The evaluation activity is also part of the debriefing. It entails 2 separate questionnaires that should be completed by all participants (an individual performance evaluation sheet and a simulation training evaluation sheet). Explain to participants why this activity is important and make clear to them that the questionnaires are anonymous and must be completed individually, without any third-party
