Simulation "Dear Mr. President" conducted with IPS participants

The simulation game "Dear Mr. President" was conducted with scholars from the International Parliament Scholarship of the German Bundestag participants.

On 19. September, 21 young professionals from Arab States in Germany for a 4-week International Parliament Scholarship program of the German Bundestag took on the role of heads of states and foreign ministers in the simulation game "Dear Mr. President". The game examines the impacts of autocratic tendencies among world leaders on the international scale. As politicians, the participants worked together to find common ground on the topic of nuclear disarmament and climate change while participating in the fictional UN conference "One Planet. One Future." in the year 2020. During the evaluation, the participants connected their experiences in the game with their own experiences in the volatile scope of world politics today.
