Materials for facilitators

On this page you will find materials for facilitators of MSP Challenge simulation platform sessions.

Knowledge base

When players click to get more information about a data layer's piece of geometry (e.g. a specific wind farm), an in-game browser is opened and a page of the MSP Knowledge Base is shown. This is actually another wiki and is part of the MSP Challenge simulation platform. You can visit this wiki too, log in with the same username and password provided by the MSP Challenge Authoriser, and improve the content of these pages or add additional pages. Have a look!

North Sea edition

Teams names

It's useful to print the teams names to set on each team's table, so everyone knows which team is sitting where. Specially if participants decide to negotiate face-to-face with neighbouring team(s).File:Opzetbordjes Final.pdf

Roles per team

Badges with different roles you can distribute in each team (different colours for different teams). You can use them if you want to add role-play to your session (notice the team colours).

Countries' profiles

Each country has a profile of main activities and goals, this adds greatly to game play. You can download the countries profiles to distribute to the teams from the table below. There are also country profiles available from the MSP Knowledge Base, which is accessible from within the MSP Challenge client. Users can access them by clicking on the MSP Challenge logo in the top-left corner. Facilitators can propose updates/changes to them through the MSP Knowledge Base.

Maps

Maps are handy to start the discussion and doodle some preliminary plans. You can print these maps on A2 paper and distribute them per team (notice the team colours).File:MapNorthSea.pdf
