A remarkable new computer software programme is being piloted to teach children about the genocide, about citizenship and about the tough choices adults often have to make.
The new simulation – it sounds wrong to call it a computer game given the subject matter – runs a series of dilemmas similar to those the UN peacekeepers faced during the genocide.
An informant tells the students, who play the role of UN officers, that hidden arms caches are about to be distributed to Rwandan government militiamen who may commit genocide.
The students have several choices. Do they risk confrontation and raid the arms caches? Or should they ask for advice from UN headquarters in New York?
