Abstract

SocialSIM is an educational project that won the Instructional Development Award of Freiburg University in 2014. The project is experimenting with real-life simulation as didactic tool in social sciences. A team of sociologists, cultural anthropologists, economists and political scientists designed a one-day social simulation on a macroscale. For the participants of the one-day real-life simulation, SocialSIM was base to experience and shape the dynamic interplay of complex social, political and economic processes. For students it was furthermore a platform to develop skills in qualitative and quantitative research methods and learn about the different perspectives of the disciplines taking part in the project.
