Preparing for Zombies - Building Memorable Role Plays

Dan Turri

How would you prepare for a Zombie Apocalypse? It probably isn’t a thought you’ve put much effort into considering. Yet, for over a decade, the CDC has given this very prompt. Through asking a radical and wild scenario a door was opened for a whole new generation to think about how they’d prepare in the event of a disaster.

In this session we’ll talk about ways we can build tabletop exercises and role plays that incorporate a deep and memorable learning. Together we’ll rethink ways to gamify and create interactive materials. We’ll build specific templates that you can apply to opportunities within your served organizations.
