G20 Economic Summit

a global simulation

Overview

Take part in an exciting, interactive, global role-playing game on the UW-Madison campus: the G20 Economic Summit. Players will simulate the dynamics of global partnerships as representatives of various world countries and will grapple with issues of economic development and environmental protection. Rules and protocols used by world leaders during meetings of the real-life World Economic Forum will be followed. Progress will depend on application of up-to-the-minute information and creativity of the players. The ultimate goal will be a final resolution or conference statement hammered out through discussion, debate, and compromise.
