Read More
The World Peace Game is a hands-on political science simulation. Children tackle solving real-world inspired crises to achieve world peace and financial stability by taking on the role of prime ministers, cabinet members, UN officials, World Bank members, arms dealers, and more. The object is to achieve world peace and global prosperity by challenging students with 50 interlocking crises, such as hurricanes, oil spills, refugee asylum, and food shortages, while under the threat of unrest.
Playing the World Peace Game is a fantastic opportunity to practice: creative problem-solving, negotiation skills, leadership responsibilities, conflict resolution, and communication skills in a high-energy, hands-on experience. To learn more, visit The World Peace Game Foundation or check out the flyer!
