For NYANYA - Reflections on Participating
Here are the 8 weeks of role play sessions we had as a group. During the role play I played a different part each week as you will see in bold letters. We did the same topic two times a week for about 30 minutes sessions. When writing the paper you can refer to I as the first person when talking about the experience. You can invent what you need to when writing the paper just stay on the subject of each week and what role I played.
