Crisis Point:
Registrations are now open for our 2023 Crisis Point Summit! The theme this year is ‘Australian Constitutional Crisis’. This exciting one-day summit is being held in person, with a full day of interactive problem solving (IPS) activities.
Crisis Point is UN Youth’s dedicated Interactive Problem Solving (IPS) event. Interactive Problem Solving simulations place delegates (high-school students) into the centre of a simulated global security or humanitarian crisis with the responsibility to work together, problem-solve and negotiate a solution.
At the event’s start, delegates enter cabinets representing countries, state actors, international organisations and other significant simulation-specific actors. These cabinets are briefed on the simulation, detailing and contextualising the crisis. Each cabinet then undertake private planning of their strategic objectives, which will influence their actions in negotiation and resolution of the crisis. As each cabinet takes its first action towards resolving the crisis, they will need to diplomatically work together in order to manage the effects of the crisis and ensure the best possible outcome.
As cabinets work together (or against…), their actions influence the development of the crisis. The Crisis Master of the IPS (a UN Youth Facilitator) will moderate the simulation through conveying new developments in real-time, taking into account cabinet actions and negotiations.
