Reference Node Icon: id_task.png Develop a role profile on team wiki
The role profile is a description of the political agenda, character traits, background, interests, long- and short-term political objectives, and potential allies and opponents of the character they are playing.
This is a very important task, and requires the students to engage in a considerable amount of research. Our experience has been that students show considerable initiative in tackling this task. For example, many have contacted the embassy of their role character, and this has often been their first contact with politics outside their domestic political scene. For many, also, it is their first attempt at "real" research. url anchor
