Worldbuilding for Teaching Critical Thinking and Empathy
Learn how the process of collaborative worldbuilding requires participants to think through how social forces present in a world shift over space and time and impact different groups of people in different ways. This workshop foregrounds the experiences of different people inhabiting the same place and time and understanding how and why people form their beliefs, motivations, and desires.
Fees
Workshop fees vary depending on a variety of factors including the number of participants, the workshop location, and the length of the sessions. Please contact the Director, Trent Hergenrader, at wthgsl@rit.edu to design a customized workshop to suit your needs.
