6. Now have them imagine the following scenario:
Community A offers citizenship ONLY to those who were born within its new borders while
Community B offers citizenship ONLY to those who live within its new borders the moment it
was formed.
7. What will happen to those who live in community A but were born where community B is now? How would
lack of citizenship affect their lives? Where might a stateless individual not be able to go within the community
map? Will they face obstacles even within their own community?
8. Reflecting on the activity discuss with the whole group: Even if divided, how could it become possible for the
members of the two communities to come together and easily visit members of their family which might live in
the other community?
Further the Activity
If a border is what it takes to split a community into two, what would it take for a community to be recognised as
an actual country? You can find out by watching a six-part BBC series following comedian Danny Wallace as he
takes up the challenge and begins the unlikely odyssey of setting up and running his own country:
