This extended group simulation invites participants to create an entire island community together. In addition to establishing rules for coexistence, participants collaboratively design the island’s geography, culture, traditions, cuisine, music, and dance. The variety of tasks encourages communication, negotiation, creativity, and shared decision-making while revealing important aspects of group dynamics.
