Hunger 201, Presented by Rebecca Teichmann

Megan Boss, Coordinator, University of Nebraska at Kearney (UNK)

This is a poverty and social awareness activity where participants were able to move through the class system. People got angry about not being able to advance into a different social class and viewed the upper-classes as "evil" even though the upper-class was trying to help them advance (I was in an upper-class). The activity portrayed real feelings and issues associated with poverty and hunger. It may be possible to implement a similar activity at UNK to make students more aware of the social classes in the United States.
