CNCR has initiated a project that explores peace gaming as a process for conflict resolution. Come and develop your skills in gaming by participating, and learning how to run games with parties to conflicts, leaders, and social change activists! These three games, each one developed by a social change leader from the Middle East, will not only provide you with knowledge specific to the conflict explored in the game, but will give you insights into the role that game can play in conflict resolution and peace building, more broadly.

In Iraq, enemies of the State are both external to the State, as in ISIS, but there is also an internal threat: corruption.

Join us for a simulation game which explores financial and administrative corruption, and their negative effects on the legitimacy of Iraqi state institutions and the economy. This game provides players an opportunity to develop possible future solutions to address this threat; but these solution must also emerge from the parties to the ongoing political, religious, and tribal conflicts which have plagued the state since the American invasion.

Your participation in the game develops your negotiation and coflict resolution skills. Additionally, it will give you insight into the complex interrelationships between conflcit and corruption in Iraq; this exploration is critically important to all who would hope to understand the complexities of post conflict settings.
