Abstract

The principle of this game, which is primarily aimed at junior researchers, is as follows: participants are asked to embody a research team studying the health impacts associated with the conduct of mining activities in Bolivia. This interactive game, which promotes ethical reflection and decision-making through a dialogical and reflexive process, was designed to put into practice the integration of decision-making, interaction between the participants and the co-construction of meaning.
