Full Description

Global Conflicts: Palestine is a 3D role-playing game for players to explore the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The players assume the role of a freelance journalist who has just arrived in Jerusalem armed with a pen, a notepad and their sharp wits. During the course of the game their beliefs and ideas about the conflict will be challenged. They will be confronted with issues around human rights, terrorism and the media’s role in conflict zones and will experience situations taken from real life events that are more complicated than outsiders may realise.The goal is to create an article for a newspaper by collecting quotes from the dialog in the game. The players can either get information by building up trust with each side or take a more confrontational approach to dig out information. In the end, the story with the most relevance and news-value for the newspaper will get the best exposure.



Purpose

Allow the player to
* Experience and understand the tense situation and daily complications in Israel-Palestine.
* Explore the inside dynamics of the conflict in the authentic and detailed environment.
* Understand the background for the situation through active dialogue with a range of (virtual) stakeholders in the conflict.
