Set in the Qalam islands, consisting of three distinct states, the game brings together a diverse array of state and non-state actors. With the support of the United Nations Development Program, an international forum has been organized to address the challenges posed by disinformation and the need for regional integration. The forum will address two main points: how the Qalam islands can enhance their cultural relations and the measures needed to improve their international image. As a participant, you will engage in plenary sessions, negotiations, and proposal submissions, all aimed at fostering cultural relations within the region and elevating the image of the Qalam islands on the global stage. 

Scenario & Procedure

In CuDi, the focus is on the Qalam islands, each representing a separate state. Participants take on the roles of various actors, and the game is divided into two parts, each dedicated to a specific topic. The first part centers around improving cultural relations among the countries of the Qalam islands. The second part delves into the measures required to enhance the international perception of the Qalam islands. Plenary sessions and free negotiations provide opportunities for in-depth discussions on cultural diplomacy.

Objectives

The primary objective of CuDi is to develop a comprehensive agreement that outlines common actions for strengthening cultural relations within the Qalam region and projecting a positive image of the region globally. By actively participating in negotiations and proposal submissions, you will have the chance to influence the outcome and contribute to the collective decision-making process.
