Role play has been established as a powerful educational tool that provides hands-on experience across various educational levels and subjects. It plays a crucial role in risk management education. Risk management is a critical function within any organizations. The process includes identification, assessment, and mitigation of risks that could affect an organization's operations, finances, reputation, and overall success. By analysing past event case studies, students not only learn lessons from historical experiences but also familiarize real-world applications of theoretical concepts, thus enhancing their future risk management strategies. Engaging students in role play is particularly impactful. By adopting different roles, students gain a deeper understanding of the complexity of events and organizations, the practical application of risk management concepts, and the management decision-making process from multiple perspectives. This role play approach has been successfully integrated into case study project assessments in risk management courses. Positive feedback from students has demonstrated its effectiveness in enhancing active learning environment and developing students’ critical thinking skills. The objective of this pedagogical approach is to closely align with the learning outcomes of the course. This presentation will share our methodologies for selecting appropriate risk management case studies and constructing a role play framework that effectively supports the educational goals.
