Global Simulation Gaming Event Day

On Saturday, July 1st, the College of International Relations held "the Global Simulation Gaming (GSG) ", one of the main events of the spring semester for second-year students.

For the past several years, the event has been held in a hybrid format of online and face-to-face sessions, but this year, for the first time in four years, the event was held only face-to-face. Approximately 340 students came together to engage in GSG activities.

GSG is a course in which all students take on the role of a real actor in the international community, such as a state, international organization, CSO, business, or media, and experience simulated international negotiations to solve actual international problems through a series of processes including problem setting, policy making, negotiations, and policy implementation.

This year, the theme was [International Poverty and Sustainable Development].

In preparation for the event, students have been studying in advance from April to June in a combination of class-by-class and student-wide classes.

According to the student's surveys, there were comments such as, ‘I was able to think carefully about how to proceed with the negotiations in order to convince the other countries and international organizations to reach an agreement.’
‘I am glad that we were able to conclude various treaties on what we have been trying to do in preparation for the actual negotiations.’
‘We could not always predict what would happen with which actors (especially during the actual event), but we were able to do what we could to prepare to the best of our ability and to be flexible in our responses.’

The event left students with a great sense of achievement while experiencing and understanding the difficulties of the conflict of interests and forming agreements.
