THE SECONDARY SCHOOLS GLOBAL CHALLENGE

We worked with Australian National University (ANU) to host the inaugural Secondary Schools Global Challenge, a crisis simulation activity attended by teams of senior students across Canberra. Students studying Australian and Global Politics took on the roles of state and non-state actors in dealing with a fictional crisis overseen by a team of experts from ANU’s Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs. A team from Dickson College won, with Brindabella Christian College and Daramalan College coming second and third. The crisis simulation was experiential learning at its best, as students had the opportunity to hear from academic experts in their fields and enact diplomatic solutions to real-world problems.
