NEGOTIATING POWER, PRACTICING LEADERSHIP: WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO MAINTAIN PEACE, PROTECT VALUES, AND LEAD UNDER PRESSURE?

Power Play (1945 - 1990) invites students to explore the global stakes of Cold War diplomacy through immersive roleplay, civic analysis, and collaborative problem-solving. In this teen-centered learning experience students step into the role of U.S. diplomats during a high-stakes historical moment and practice the real-world skills of negotiation, advocacy, and strategy. With the Cold War as backdrop, students explore how fear, power, and influence shape global relationships—and how diplomacy can either sustain or destabilize peace.
