"If we are to create peace in our world, we must begin with our children."
—Mahatma Gandhi
The World Peace Game, a brainchild of public school teacher John Hunter, pits teams of students against each other as leaders of countries in crises and conflict. The students strategize and negotiate, compete and cooperate, wage war and make peace. But the game is not won until all countries enjoy security and prosperity. In this deeply moving video, Hunter describes how the game is played and relates some of the incredibly spontaneous, nuanced and powerful ripples of his unconventional classroom experiment.
The next time you are perplexed about one of the world's big problems, ask a child how they would solve it.
