Don't Just Tick the Box: Encouraging Dialogue on Complex Animal and Human Health Issues - Role Play Simulation

Don’t Just Tick the Box: Encouraging Dialogue on Complex Animal and Human Health Issues.RPS is a dynamic experiential activity in which a diverse group of stakeholders play specific roles to simulate a real-life negotiation and/or make decisions about complex social-environmental issues. During this RPS workshop, participants will play the role of a forest stakeholder (i.e., government agency, family forest landowner, outdoor recreation agent, or local organic farmer) to make decisions on the type of forest management methods and tick control methods that they would like to suggest to the local government. The RPS is a simulated negotiation in which participants will represent a role different from their real-life role.
