The learning connection
Roleplaying is rooted in Vygotsky's scaffolding theory, allowing children to explore perspectives beyond their own. By embodying different roles, they practice empathy and critical thinking, vital for understanding complex global issues.
Try it with your learner
1. Prepare role cards representing various global citizens: a farmer, a teacher, a scientist, a refugee, and a business owner. 2. Discuss a global issue like climate change, poverty, or education. 3.

Collaboratively brainstorm solutions that could address the issue from different viewpoints. 6. Reflect on how understanding diverse perspectives can lead to more effective solutions.
