In this Reacting to the Past microgame, students will take on the question of humanitarian assistance in an environment fraught with complications. It is late 1998, and a wide range of government representatives and aid organizations have gathered to discuss the future of assistance to North Korea in Musgrove, Georgia. While no one can deny North Korea’s need, students will debate the severity of the famine, the type and amount of aid that will be most successful, the proper response and role of non-government organizations (NGOs) in North Korea, and the terms under which North Korea will even qualify for international assistance. While the issues underlying the game are difficult enough, students will also need to juggle the political baggage and history these East Asian countries bring to their arguments. Additionally, the short time allotted for such a discussion and a couple of surprises along the way will make this a challenging--even stressful--but memorable experience for all students involved.
