SWEATSHOP SIMULATIONS
Attendees can choose to participate in simulations of sweat shop conditions that will run throughout the event. These will consist of receiving a back story that reflects real-life exploitation scenarios lived by millions across the globe and attempting to meet the production goal set for the character while sitting at a table without breaks doing one repetitive monotonous task. Participants can join discussion groups to share their thoughts and experiences once they complete their simulation.
Funds raised will go to support Aurora House in their mission to provide housing and support services immigrants and refugees who have been trafficked or otherwise exploited.
