Activity resource available through the Office of Teaching Resources in Psychology:
Simulation of a World Congress of Sexology Symposium on AIDS (2001), Debra B. Hull, Wheeling Jesuit University
This project describes a simulation that helps develop intercultural awareness and appreciation, and skills in data collection, analysis, and synthesis; written and oral communication; and group cooperation. Students in a human sexuality course select a country to represent, then prepare a working paper on AIDS in that country, covering such topics as history, incidence, transmission, educational efforts, research focus, and governmental policies. The working paper also forms the basis for a proposed resolution, written by each student, to address major AIDS-related concerns in the student's country. During a class simulation of a World Congress on AIDS, including formal debate and informal caucuses, students present concerns of their countries, form coalitions of countries with similar needs, and work together to approve resolutions.
