WORLD
PEACE
GAME
The World Peace Game is a hands-on political
simulation that gives players the opportunity
to explore the connectedness of the global
community through the lens of the economic,
social, and environmental crises and the
imminent threat of war.
The goal of the game is to extricate each
country from dangerous circumstances
and achieve global prosperity with the
least amount of military intervention.
As “nation teams,” students will gain
greater understanding of the critical
impact of information and how it is used.
As their teams venture further into this
interactive social setting laced with highly
charged philosophical issues, the skills
needed to identify ambiguity and bias
in the information they receive will be
enhanced and more specifically they will
rapidly perceive that reactive behaviour
not only provokes antagonism, it can
leave them alone and isolated in the
face of powerful enemies.

Beliefs and values will evolve or completely
unravel as they begin to experience the
positive impact and windows of opportunity
that emerge through effective collaboration
and refined communication.
In essence, as meaning is constructed out
of chaos and new creative solutions are
proposed, World Peace Game players will
learn to live and work comfortably at the
frontiers of the unknown.
