Tools for Teaching the Tough Topics

Game-based learning offers high-engagement, low-barrier entry points to difficult conversations on divisive topics.

How can you facilitate respectful, productive discussions of current issues that center facts, while building student empathy and civic self-efficacy? Games make complex content accessible, offer a unique opportunity for experiential learning, and build students’ capacity and desire to take civic action.
