The following websites all have useful follow up material on World Debt;

www.jusbiz.org is the website of 'Just Business', a site aimed mainly at teachers and students of Business Studies and Economics in secondary schools. On the 'Resources' page of the site there is a role playing exercise called 'The Debt Game' which explores how it feels to live in a highly indebted poor country. There are two versions of the game; one for younger pupils (12-15) and one for older pupils (16-19). The game may be downloaded as a PDF file for use in schools entirely free of charge.

www.dropthedebt.org is the website of a group that is campaigning to have the debts of the poorest countries cancelled. The site contains the latest news about World Debt and information about the campaign's activities and how you can get involved if you want to.
