ALPHA/BETA
This class was developed by the Peace Corps to prepare the volunteers for their new experience in different cultures. The students are divided into two groups; each group role-plays the culture of the planet they represent. During the game, the students are sent to "the other planet" and can experience what it is like to be in a place where the culture is completely different. At the end of class, both groups reunite to discuss: how they felt in the other culture, assumptions about the other culture, and the truth about the other culture. This class emphasizes how to avoid stereotyping individuals and reveals methods the students can use to make people new to an area feel more welcome and comfortable.
