The National Museum of American Diplomacy offers education programs designed to explain the world of diplomacy. A primary component of the programs is a series of Diplomacy Simulations — hands-on exercises that enable students and teachers to directly experience the work of diplomats dealing with complex issues in critical foreign affairs topics.
The Office of American Spaces has developed a programming kit (PDF 61 kb) tailored to assisting American Spaces in facilitating the simulation exercises described below. This kit can be used in conjunction with the teacher’s guide (PDF 1 MB) found on the National Museum of American Diplomacy website. The Diplomacy Simulation topics include the following:
