Global Experience

STEP INTO ANOTHER WORLD

discover how you can make a difference

Global Experience uses interactive theatre to help you understand the needs in our world and how you can make a difference.

In our simulations, you become the participant!

Using actors and sets, we simulate real-life scenarios and place you into them so you can experience the challenges yourself and learn how you can help others living in similar situations.

THE COMPANY - OM's newest interactive simulation

Imagine that life as you know it suddenly changes. You need help and you need money.

Then a recruiter offers you a great opportunity. The Company is looking to hire new staff and are offering large salaries. In a very short time, you could earn what you need to support your family.

It’s exactly what you’re looking for...or is it? 

The Company simulation highlights the realities of human trafficking and helps participants learn how they can join the fight against it.

DISCOVER MORE ABOUT GLOBAL EXPERIENCE

WHY SIMULATIONS?

To best support those who are suffering, we believe that we must first understand their situations. Hearing their stories can help us do that; often, though, we need to experience something ourselves to really comprehend it. Simulations enable participants to step out of ‘their world’ and into ‘another world’ in which they encounter such circumstances. Through this, they gain a depth of understanding and empathy which often inspires them to take action.

WHO DOES IT BENEFIT?

Global Experience seeks to benefit those whose lives are impacted by the issues we showcase. This is done by raising awareness of their situations and informing our guests about how they can get involved in those areas of relief.

HOW CAN I HOST A SIMULATION IN MY AREA?

We’d love to hear more about the event you’d like to hold. Please email us at GlobalExperience@om.org to schedule a time to talk with our team.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO HOST A SIMULATION?

Each event is tailored to the needs of our clients so the costs will vary. We ask that our clients cover the airfare, accommodation, domestic transportation and other relevant expenses for our team, as well as the costs associated with putting on the event (venue hire, transport of equipment, etc). To keep costs down, we can sometimes offer the option of bringing only our trainers to your location and inviting local actors and technicians to serve as cast and crew.

WHERE DOES GLOBAL EXPERIENCE RUN SIMULATIONS?

Global Experience designs its simulations so they can be taken anywhere in the world. To date, we have held events in the Faroe Islands, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, The Netherlands, Sweden, the UK and the USA.

GLOBAL EXPERIENCE DEALS WITH TOUGH TOPICS. HOW DO YOU MAKE SURE PEOPLE ARE OK DURING AND AFTER THE SIMULATIONS?

We make sure guests know that they are welcome to leave the experience at any time if they do not want to continue participating. In addition, after every simulation, we hold a debrief with the group to allow them to process what they went through, and offer opportunities for anyone who wants additional one-on-one support to speak with someone on our team.
