Description
This lesson plan revolves around a role playing scenario focusing on the 2024 humanitarian crisis in Haiti and the proposed deployment of a Kenyan-led Multinational Security Support Mission.
The role play includes 21 distinct roles, including state and non-state actors like Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, as well as human rights advocates and scholars.
It provides an interactive and engaging way for students to explore real-world issues, understand multiple perspectives, and analyze the complexities of humanitarian crises and international interventions.
First, students will familiarize themselves with excerpts from a New York Times article detailing the situation in Haiti and the international response to the crisis.
Then, they will be assigned their unique roles and use the links provided to prepare responses to the questions that will be discussed during the role play.
During the role play, students will present arguments and perspectives based on their assigned roles. They will address questions regarding the situation in Haiti, its root causes, proposed solutions, and the international community's response. They will engage in dialogue with each other, expressing their characters' viewpoints and advocating for their positions.
After the role play, there will be a debriefing session where students will reflect on what they learned, discuss new perspectives encountered during the activity, and consider the dilemmas of intervention, legitimacy, and fragility.
