Historical Conference Simulation

Students stepped into the roles of diplomats and world leaders in a dynamic simulation of an international peace summit - Yalta 2.0. Inspired by the historic Yalta Conference of 1945, this modern reboot challenged students to confront the complexities of rebuilding the world order after a major conflict, bringing a fresh and thoughtful perspective to one of history’s most pivotal moments. Under the guidance of Mr. Waldvogel (Mr. W), students represented countries with competing values, interests, and political goals. They opened with prepared statements, debated major global issues through a series of structured prompts, and participated in informal diplomatic “consultations” that mirrored real-world negotiations.
