Role Playing 
 Vampire game Aim: To know how it is to be oppressed Method:Role play Duration: Ca. 10 min. Number of participants: Any Description: You set up a square and instruct the participants to walk around blindfolded. One is then made into a vampire who has the job turning them into vampires. He/she does that by pinching them on the neck. Everyone pinched helps turn everyone else into vampires. The blindfolded people, when pinched on the neck must shout, and then keep away the blindfold and become themselves vampires- passing from oppressed to oppressors.
 The game must have a slow rhythm, making blindfolded participants experiment the fear to be oppressed and then , when vampires, the revenge in oppressing the others The final debriefing will clarify the position oppressed/oppressor as 2 faces of the same coin- ask participants about their feelings in both the roles.
