Listen to Me

An emotionally intense activity that role-plays the frustration of the unheard & oppressed, and the reactions of the oppressors. Two concentric circles face each other; the outside plays the oppressed, the inside plays the oppressors. Each has a line to say. Then the two circles switch roles.
