CFR Education’s newest product, Convene the Council, aims to get students as young as twelve thinking about foreign policy and why it matters. Developed in partnership with iCivics, one of the nation’s leading providers of educational games, Convene the Council empowers students to understand the basics of how U.S. foreign policy gets made and the ways in which countries and international organizations can influence foreign policy priorities. Twenty gameplay scenarios reveal how foreign and domestic policy are intertwined, and how decisions made in one corner of the world can affect us all. The game, also available in a Spanish version, makes its debut on February 27, 2022 and will be available on iCivics’ website and as an app on iOS and Android phones and tablets.
