    Advancing Racial Equity in the Minneapolis Park System: How Could Organizations with Divergent Goals Work Together?
    (E-PARCC at Syracuse University, 2020) Yuan (Daniel), Cheng; Brooke, Dirtzu
    "Advancing Racial Equity in the Minneapolis Park System” is a role-play simulation designed to help students understand the challenges in creating a collaborative governance regime when actors involved have different understandings of the core issue. It also helps students understand how complex structural elements underpin systemic inequalities, and then learn strategies to advance racial equity in public service provisions. This simulation is relevant for classes dealing with collaborative governance, public engagement processes, stakeholder involvement, collaborative problem-solving, and increasing diversity and inclusion in public policy making.

    The Armenian Genocide: The Trial of Tehlirian
    (2017) University of Minnesota, Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies
    In 1921, six years after the extermination of the Armenian peoples in Turkey, an Armenian survivor by the name of Soghomon Tehlirian murdered former Ottoman Grand Vizier Talaat Pasha on the streets of Berlin. The Grand Vizier had been instrumental in the genocide committed against the Armenian peoples, a genocide Tehlirian had witnessed (and survived) firsthand. What followed was a two-day trial in which Tehlirian was acquitted. Students in this lesson participate in a mock trial of Tehlirian. Students are assigned different roles: witnesses, attorneys, court personnel, and jury members. After going through testimonies and managing the evidence, students must decide if the assassination of Talaat Pasha is justified.

    Building Environmental Youth Leadership: A High-school Service-learning Curriculum
    (University of Minnesota Extension, Regents of the University of Minnesota, 2006) Meyer, Nathan, J.; Meyer, Rebecca, L.
    The Building Environmental Youth Leadership Team curriculum was made possible, in part, through funding from Minnesota's Lake Superior Coastal Program. The guide first defines and details key components of the service learning process. Subsequent lesson plans describe how to help groups of high-school-aged youth develop teamwork and a service mission, logistical plans, and actions to accomplish their service mission. These lessons were developed and piloted by Extension educators over the course of two years working in collaboration with youth and staff from the Northern Pines Girl Scout Council and Duluth ISD 709.

    The Cambodian Genocide: Can Justice be Achieved?
    (2017) University of Minnesota, Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies
    Thirty years after the Khmer Rouge came to power in Cambodia and committed many horrific atrocities, the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) was formed to prosecute the leaders of the Khmer Rouge. Many problems have prevented the ECCC from doing its intended job, and Cambodians and the international community alike have criticized it for its inefficiency and incompetence. In this lesson, students will grapple with the idea of justice-- what is it, and how can it be achieved. Do we rely on the justice system to prosecute those most responsible for the Cambodian genocide? Should all people who committed these crimes in Cambodia be tried? How can the victims and their families find peace and justice?
