Starlight Stadium: Episode 4
Welcome to Episode 4 of Starlight Stadium! This episode will take you through the Advocacy stage of ODIHR’s Human Rights Monitoring Cycle. Enjoy, and thank you for playing!
Starlight Stadium was developed to integrate learning objectives that cover the entire human rights monitoring methodology – these objectives can be reviewed here.
The learning objectives for Episode 4 are as follows:
- Get introduced to the definition of human rights advocacy: advocacy involves a wide variety of techniques, including direct or indirect pressure, politeness, humility, showing empathy for the interlocutor, praise and stressing mutual objectives or developing solutions together.
- Understand what stakeholder mapping is and how it can be used for advocacy purposes.
- Learn how to deliver key messages to stakeholders.
- Have the opportunity to implement an advocacy strategy while managing resources and capacity of your team.
- Learn to respond to new risks emerging from the increase of exposure.
We’d appreciate any feedback you could provide about your playing and learning experience. After playing, to help us improve, please fill out this form or email us at hrdcapacitybuilding@odihr.pl.
Starlight Stadium serves as a method through which players can learn about human rights monitoring and apply what they’ve learned to a simulated monitoring mission. Human rights monitoring is complex, and although care has been put in the game to include nuances that exist within human rights defenders’ environments, please remember that this game is a simplification of reality, and that your situation as a human rights defender may differ from the situations presented in Balronia.
