“Simpolicon is a simulation of economic development, environmental sustainibility, and international political relations in which teams of students work together to simulate running a country which exists in the real world. Students act as their country’s leading economic and political experts, and they must make decisions on how best to use their basic resources. The object of the simulation is ultimately to teach today’s students, who will become tomorrow’s world leaders, how to make good decisions that will help the world develop and maintain a sustainable environment.”
