SIMSOC is a highly participative simulation reflecting the challenges of society. Participants create their own community complete with political parties, industries, and economic classes.

The simulation requires a minimum of 15 participants and a maximum of 60. This program is a complex simulation requiring use of forms and subtle communication interplay between participants. We conduct more than 100 sessions a year, mostly with community leadership programs.

The Value of SIMSOC to Community Leadership Programs:

• Most participants in CLP’s have been out of socioeconomic thinking for a while. In fact, most admit that it has been since college that they considered such heavy issues, and to revisit these issues in a participative, dynamic way adds significant value to their leadership experience.
  
• Adults learn best by doing, and the value to SIMSOC is to let people create their own society. Their choices have consequences and these consequences have to be addressed in order to realize a successful community.
  
• Participants are enabled to create their own definition of a successful community, and the challenges and difficulties to create one.
  
• The simulation is safe. Participants can experiment with different strategies. These social experiments are not possible in real life for most participants.
  
• Significant connections are made to SIMSOC throughout the leadership experience. Almost all sessions have something in common with an aspect of the simulation and the experience.
