Very informative on foreign policy issues and is engaging, a little too much US propaganda
Community Review for Convene the Council
My Take
The game is very engaging and helps students learn about foreign politics. It puts the student in a leadership role and simulates how they would act with responsibilities. Students should be actively learning about these topics while they play the game as it would be hard to understand otherwise. And I know that it's a kids game, but the US propaganda was way over the top and the game ignores historical facts. I think a more nuanced look over the role that US plays in other countries would improve this game a lot.
How I Use It
I would use it as a teacher while teaching about foreign policy and about politics in general as the game allows you to role play being a US president. I would also use the topics that are brought up such as fighting Climate change, terrorism, and the refugee crisis to educate students on important issues.
