“Model Armenia” is an educational simulation game designed to enhance young people’s understanding of the Republic of Armenia’s public administration system, leadership abilities, sense of civic responsibility, and critical thinking. The simulation game allows participants to assume roles with clear goals, providing insights into the roles and functions of various actors within the Armenian public administration system, encouraging a sense of commitment.
The “Model Armenia” educational simulation game-manual targets experienced organizations and individual trainers conducting educational projects using informal learning principles and methodology. It contains thematic material and assumes that trainers possess the necessary skills to facilitate the game effectively.
The “Model Armenia” educational game-manual is developed based on the methodology of “Model United Nations,” tailored and localized for the Armenian context, enabling up to 5-6 hours of gameplay in a full-day session.
The manual comprises three distinct games, educational resources for role-playing participants, and facilitator guidelines. Each game description follows a consistent format, starting with an overview and progressing to detailed player assignments.
The manual is structured into three main sections:
- Three educational simulation games titled “Model Armenia.”
- Educational resources detailing the roles of the five game characters.
- Comprehensive instructions and recommendations for organizing and executing the “Model Armenia” game for facilitators.
“Model Armenia” educational game was created by the expert team of “NGO Center” civil society development NGO within the framework of “Youth in Action. Youth Empowerment and Leadership Development in Armenia” Project.
Project is a co-funded initiative by the European Union and the Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAS) implemented together with the World Vision Armenia (WVA), Media Initiatives Center (MIC), and Gyumri “Youth Initiatives Centre” (YIC).
