Description

This training is for those interested in facilitating and leading the Community Action Poverty Simulation on campus. This training will last most of the day. Upon completion of the training, you will be prepared to facilitate and lead the Missouri CAN Poverty Simulation on-campus and beyond. You must complete this training to be able to facilitate or lead the simulation. Lunch will be provided during this training. The Community Action Poverty Simulation is an interactive immersion experience which sensitizes participants to the realities of poverty. The simulation promotes poverty awareness through role-play by living a simulated month in poverty or with low income. Debriefing post-simulation will increase understanding and inspire local change in perspectives and bias towards poverty.
