US Foreign Policy, economic sanctions and cyberclash with China (CFR Education simulations)

| Sin comentarios

Dear Educator, 

Are you looking for ways to engage your students on pressing global issues while strengthening their civil discourse?

Invite them to step into the roles of decision-makers on the U.S. National Security Council and United National Security Council with CFR Education simulations. 

Whether you want your students to think critically about how to manage nuclear threats, administer disaster relief, address a public health crisis, or debate and deliberate another topic among the wide range of today’s pressing foreign policy issues, participating in a CFR Education simulation will help them gain hands-on experience grappling with the challenges of policymaking in today’s complicated and connected world. 

This newsletter highlights three extended simulations and three mini simulations that have been most popular among your fellow educators, including:

I hope you find these and our other simulations helpful in developing your student’s critical thinking, persuasive speaking and writing, and collaboration skills.

Happy learning,

Caroline Netchvolodoff

Extended Simulations

Fuel a lively classroom discussion with simulations that put your students in the shoes of either the National Security Council or the UN Security Council. 

CFR Education simulations can be run for several days or weeks and come with background readings, videos, and assignments to help students gain an understanding of the situation and their roles.

Explore three simulations that educators like you used in their classrooms this year:

  • Asylum Seekers at the U.S. Southern Border in 2019
    This extended simulation, set in 2019, details the complexity of managing the increasing number of displaced people from the Northern Triangle. Students will weigh humanitarian, legal, and policy-related issues.
  • North Korean Nuclear Threat
    In this fictional simulation, students learn how to navigate complex defense policies when the U.S. learns that North Korea possesses the reentry technology for an intercontinental ballistic missile that could reach the North American West Coast.
  • Cyber Clash with China
    What would be the policy response to the Chinese government’s complicity in cyberattacks against the U.S.? In this hypothetical simulation, your students will step into the shoes of experts to debate possible approaches.

Mini Simulations

Are you interested in running a simulation but feel pressed for time? 

CFR Education’s mini simulations are short case studies of historical and current events that require less time and preparation than extended simulations.

These three mini simulations will help your students understand some of the most fundamental global affairs topics:

  • U.S. Foreign Policy: Multilateralism or Unilateralism?
    Presidents prioritize either multilateral or unilateral approaches to foreign policy. In this mini simulation, students learn the difference between unilateralism and multilateralism, and explore what trade-offs exist between them.
  • Should the United States Ratify the Law of the Sea?
    Did you know that the U.S. is one of a few powerful countries that has not ratified the UN Convention Law of the Sea? Use this mini simulation to educate your students on international agreements and governance challenges of deep-sea mining.
  • Economic Sanctions
    How can economic sanctions be used as a foreign policy tool? In this mini simulation, students will gain a better understanding of how economic policy can be used to promote a country’s interests.

Climate Corner

Use these hands-on simulations to educate your students on how to engage in civil discourse about climate change.
