The aim is to give students a better insight into the extreme challenges that decision makers face when presented with complex emergencies by assuming the positions of the people who actually lived through some of recent history’s greatest crises and then searching for their own solutions. Our list of crises may include the First World War, the Russian Revolution, the Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam in 1968, the Yom Kippur war of 1973, the Falklands War, the Gulf War (1990-1991), 9/11, Ebola, and ISIS/Syria. Student suggestions of crises outside of this list will also be considered! Regardless of the crisis, we will follow a similar pattern each day: (1) introducing the crisis and its background by a mixture of in-class video, reading and discussion; (2) assigning roles (leaders, key advisors and relevant office holders) for the simulation and preparing briefing papers on the looming crisis; (3) engaging in a teacher-moderated crisis simulation, sometimes with opposing sides; (4) debating the issue together or responding to each other from separate rooms as appropriate, in the hope of producing a ‘better’ outcome than the actual leaders did in history; (5) assessing our outcome and that of the real crisis; (6) watching a film (documentary or feature) based around the crisis in the afternoon; and (7) participating in some evening journal reflective writing or an online discussion on Schoology. Possible films include The Guns of August (1965), Battleship Potemkin (1925), Thirteen Days (2000), Path to War (2002), Lemon Tree (2008), The Gulf War- BBC Documentary (1996), The West Wing (1999-2004), The Falklands Play (2002), and Contagion (2011).

Why — across the globe and through the ages — are we drawn to stories that terrify us? The fear they evoke grips our hearts and turns our stomachs, but we keep reading, we keep watching, we keep coming back for more. Why? Over the course of 4 days, we will investigate this mystery together, examining both supernatural and biological interpretations of horror and, ultimately, confronting our fascination with and fear of the Other. Our exploration of the dark side of our imaginations will incorporate a study of folklore, literature, music, art, and film in order to examine the role such frightening elements play in our lives and culture. Each day will focus on a different type of horror: (1) vampires, zombies, and other forms of undead; (2) dragons/godzillas, aliens, and the monstrous beasts of fantasy and science fiction; (3) human villains, rebellious robots, and other dystopian twists on reality; and (4) ghosts, spirits, and supernatural forces from unknown realms. Whether you're only a wee bit interested in horror or if you've already sunk your teeth into this nightmare world and found it delicious, join us for a week of mind-biting, dream-scorching fang-tasmagoria. A note to students and parents: Although there is strength in numbers, this program is not suitable for the weak of stomach or the faint of heart.
