The poverty simulation is a learning tool created as a way to help people understand the realities of poverty. Participants role-play the lives of low-income families with the stressful task of providing for basic necessities and shelter on a limited budget during the course of four 15-minute "weeks." This survival simulation enables participants to look at poverty from a variety of angles and then to recognize and discuss potential for change within their schools and communities. The poverty simulation was designed to sensitize those who interact with low-income families, as well as to create a broader awareness of the realities of poverty among policy makers, community leaders, and educators.
The poverty simulation will be held at Loves Park City Hall Gymnasium, 100 Heart Blvd, Loves Park, IL 61111. Participants are asked to arrive 15 minutes early for additional instruction.
