Instructies

Are your emergency response teams making the right choices? Play the 'Humanity Game' and find out. As a game master you guide the students through this game. The manual describes the course of the game and gives further instruction. You deal with 4 disasters; 4 rounds in which students are watching impressive videos and then taking the knowledge test to earn money for new relief supplies. They will discover a lot about the Red Cross and the relief support in major disasters. Good luck!

• With a disaster it is of no importance who you are, where you live, or what your background is. Therefore we help everyone who is in need.
   
• World’s biggest humanitarian network of volunteers.

• Does each team have a name?
   
• Have you got the basic stock of relief supplies?
   
• Are you ready to go?
