“It is October 2078. The world is coming to an end. Several world wars have broken out and nuclear weapons are being used as a last resort. Enemy troops are advancing, some attacking and some searching for an escape. A toxic sea of fire looms behind them. It is a certainty that the world as we know it will perish along with all the people who live in it. Flora and fauna will be wiped out and only craters will be left on the land.
The Dutch government has anticipated this moment and has built a bunker. In this bunker there is room for five people, and these five people will have to save the human race. After spending a year in the bunker, they will be able to go outside when the air is clean again and then start a new life.
Slide 16 - Slide
The procedure:
You will get a chat message with a role on it. Read the information carefully and try to imagine yourself in the role.
Of course, you want a place in the bunker. Each role has strengths and weaknesses. In advance, think about why you should be eligible for a place in the bunker.
During the assignment, your group has to make a top fiveof the group members allowed into the bunker.
How you are going to do this, is up to you.
You can use any Zoom settings you need during the decision-making process.
You will have 25 minutes for this.
