1. Key Information
Length: Short, typically a few minutes per participant.
Cost: Requires funding for charitable donations and materials (money, tokens, containers, sign-up forms, posters).
Target Audience: University students, attendees at Clubs Fairs, and tabling events.
2. Important considerations
Pros:
- Offering money attracts people to the table, and interactive gameplay engages participants.
- Promote Engagement: Gets participants thinking about different approaches to doing good and opens a discussion about effective altruism.
- Educational Opportunity: Provides a platform to discuss effective altruism concepts and introduce your group to potential new members.
Things to consider:
- Limited Time: The quick nature of the game may not allow for in-depth conversations.
- Simplified Choice: Participants might choose charities based on limited information.
- Potential Distraction: Attracting participants with money might not necessarily lead to long-term engagement with the group's ideas.
