Virtual Peace is a digital humanitarian assistance game that creates a learning environment for young people studying public policy and international relations. The game will be developed by repurposing an existing military simulation into a tool for humanitarian training. Learning within the game will focus on leadership skills, cultural awareness, problem solving, and adaptive thinking--all of which are necessary to coordinate international humanitarian assistance for natural disaster relief.
