Poverty Simulation
DATE
January 11
TIME
5:00pm - 8:00pm
To recognize National Poverty Awareness Month in January, we are hosting a poverty simulation with Franklin College, Circles Indianapolis, and BRICKS Alliance, Inc. on Wednesday, January 11th.
As leaders and discussion-makers within the community, we encourage you to attend and learn more about under-resourced households within Johnson County. Your staff and committees are also invited.
What does a person living in a low-income situation go through on a weekly basis? What hard decisions about what a family can go without or afford has to happen within a month?
During this live-action simulation participants role-play lives of low income families, taking on the identity of someone living in a low income situation. They will work together with their family to live a month in poverty. The simulated "community" is a large room. Participants' "homes" are chairs in the center. Needed services like banks, schools and grocery stores are tables that line the perimeter of the room. These simulations have motivated and inspired many participants to take action in ending poverty within our community.
Join us at Franklin College. Event will be held in building 8 in the Branigan Room with event parking in P12.
Meal begins at 4:30 p.m. Simulation starts at 5:00 and concludes at 8 p.m.
Simulation is appropriate for 12 years and up.
