[David Cohen · Rating 3 out of 5]

A very thorough introduction to the many ways to set up conventions and well represent a country and its position on the political arena. My high schoolers can do this in a limited fashion as a security council with 15 countries represented and a President or Secretary General now that I know the mechanics and steps. Flags made, rostrum set, and ready to implement Robert's Rules of Order!
