The challenges encourage them to:
- Observe attitudes, expressions, and emotions.
- Step into different situations.
- Simulate, exaggerate, analyze, and interpret behavior.
- Compare their perceptions with those of others.
A short introduction allows them to start the experience, followed by intense gameplay and a thorough debrief to analyze learning outcomes.
After a brief introduction and platform connection, students are divided into teams and given access to their list of challenges.
Throughout the experience, they must:
- Observe facial expressions, postures, gestures, or intonations.
- Interpret emotions from photos, videos, or sentences.
- Role-play to experiment with different attitudes.
- Compare analyses and debate interpretations.
Challenges alternate between observation, action, and reflection, creating a dynamic and engaging rhythm.
The experience concludes with a collective debrief (recommended: 45 minutes or more) to review achievements, share insights, and consolidate learning.
