Basic
I. When your class read about the war damage in Kosovo, you
decided to do something about it now that the bombing is over
and the area is mending. The conflict has resulted in hundreds
of children left as homeless orphans. Your class has decided
to do its part in helping by lending assistance to an international
organization concerned with this large number of orphans. Because
you have access to technology, the relief organization wants
you to investigate the Kosovo region for a good place to put
a resident school.
The school must be
large enough so that 150 students can live there and attend
classes. This school will be their home for the foreseeable
future. It is anticipated that the students will range in age
from 5 to 16.
Building materials
are in tight supply, so your plan must include a proposed site
for the new school, plus a plan to get the building materials
to the new school's site.
II. Now that the conflict in Kosovo is over, there is uneasiness
among the ethnic factions in the region. The uneasiness is accented
by the large number of displaced people, the burned buildings,
and a need to heal the wounds of war. People who once lived,
worked, and played together now look at one another with distrust,
fear, and sometimes hatred.
Your group, the Students
For World Harmony (SFWH), has decided to do its part in restoring
Kosovo to peaceful living conditions. Your group has been asked to create a summer camp for students from
the warring factions. Your goal is to have them understand one
another as individuals, not as members of the "other"
group. You also want the students to promote harmony in the
region and to assist in rebuilding of this war-torn area.
III. Determined to contribute to a better world, your group of
students has joined the One World Movement (OWM). The OWM's
mission is to contribute to world peace and harmony, and avoid
open conflict and turmoil such as that witnessed in the Yugoslavian
province of Kosovo.
Frustrated with the
acts of violence, displaced people, and destruction, some
Kosovars
have asked: "Why can't we start a new model city?"
One World Movement (OWM) has been tasked with developing a plan
to start a new city capable of supporting 5,000 people in Kosovo.
Your task is to recommend where this city might be located,
how it should be named, and what type of government it should
have. Consideration of the city's name, type of employment for
its residents, and ethnic diversity are important.

Determined to contribute to a better world, your group of
students has joined the One World Movement (OWM). The OWM's
mission is to contribute to world peace and harmony, avoiding
open conflict and turmoil such as that witnessed in the Yugoslavian
province of Kosovo. OWM has volunteered to become an active
participant in the peace process by assisting in the reconstitution
of Kosovo.
Somewhat strained
by the enormity of the damage caused by the war, regional and
international agencies are recruiting assistance in reconstructing
Kosovo. OWM wants to contribute to the effort through the development
of a plan for rebuilding Kosovo. OWM has been notified that
in order to participate, its volunteers must demonstrate a firm
understanding of the situation in Kosovo. Understanding is demonstrated
through the submission of a plan that includes an analysis of
the historical events that led to the conflict and understanding
of the social, political, cultural, and economic issues in the
region. The plan must then recommend courses of action that
will provide for health and vitality of people living in the
area.
Courses of action
for Kosovo must account for the strained relations between ethnic
populations, and needs for local government, jobs, health, and
safety. Your courses of action could consider economic expansion
in the area through the introduction of new businesses or through
foreign investment.
