Conference Workshops

Our conference workshops focus on the Choices approach to addressing contested current and historical international issues and introduce participants to Choices resources. Participants engage in one or more lessons from our curriculum units, including taking part in a role-play simulation that places students at the center of debate on a critical current issue or at an historical turning point.
