[hr-education-na] Seeking advice on role-playing exercise

Hello educators,

I plan to do something new in class this semester and would like to hear
from others who have tried something similiar.

In a college class on Latin America I plan to do a role play of the
Cochabamba water war. I was reading something about it and it occurred to
me that it would be a good role-playing exercise with people playing
different community members, the local government, the national
government, Bechtel, NGOs etc. I have no experience in doing this kind of
thing (but I put it on the syllabus so I am committed to it!).

Can anyone help me out by describing their experience or suggesting
something to read?

thanks

Jack
