In a world where decisions made thousands of miles away can profoundly impact our daily lives, Ripple Effect: The Yemen Crisis invites you to step into the shoes of various characters—from Yemenis to Dutch people and international people. This role-playing game will reveal how global events, whether political decisions, international aid, or conflicts, ripple across the globe and shape your future. By engaging in play, sharing experiences, and reflecting on them, you will uncover the power of global action and learn about our interconnectedness. Together, we can comprehend how human rights and advocacy can foster change, positively impacting the lives of those affected by the Yemen crisis.

About the team: The speakers met during their Master's in International Law and are often involved in volunteering projects. They are motivated by their willingness to help others and share their knowledge and experience to raise awareness of human rights abuses and violations.
