This question propels both Model Diplomacy and World101, CFR’s innovative online learning resources, which form the foundation of a global civics curriculum—empowering young people with the essential knowledge, skills, and perspective to become responsible, globally competitive citizens who can steer through partisan rhetoric and disinformation.
CFR Education uses multimedia storytelling, classroom simulations, and instructor-designed lesson plans to explain the fundamentals of international relations and foreign policy.
