Life in Congo during the colonial period was far from the same for everyone.
In this online game, students reconstruct the everyday world of a historical figure. Their story takes shape from photographs, maps, newspaper articles, paintings, and testimonies that bring the past to life.
Will your students step into the shoes of a Congolese forced laborer, a Force Publique soldier, an "évolué", or a housewife? Or will they become a Belgian missionary sister, a railway worker, or the wife of a plantation owner? And what is their message for us today?
