Please hurry so that others can implement this game with kids. I would like to try it with AAP middle schoolers. They need challenging projects.

john,
it’s such a joy to see this game slowly get launched. i’m sending it to Tom Perriello so it can be taken to Africa and Asia on his journeys. Let’s pray for the children who learn this game, may they carry it into their lives, into their hearts.
you my friend, are a genius. thanks for sharing.

Hi Susan!!
So good to know you are still there, in the thick of it all.
Our beginnings in the S.P.A.C.E. program were a great start for the kinds of work we do, eh?
So glad you’ve enjoyed what we’ve been able to develop.
Here’s one more link of an upcoming in-depth interview about the game:

Take good care and keep up the good fight!

Hi John, Susan Stebbins, former SPACE cadet here. Now teaching college anthropology and Native American studies at SUNY Potsdam, near the Canadian border. Paul emailed me this website and podcast, so cool man. I’d love to hear more about the high school version of the game for a colleague who does a summer program for high school girls here. Take care and keep up the struggle. Susan

Hi Sean,

Actually I rarely ever access the sites with the WPG on them. Too busy! But happened to look in due to the recent Christian Science Monitor article on the game. Their article prompted me to review current feedback on the game.

Thanks John, for your response! I’m curious – how did you know to look for this comment?

Hi Susan,

No, not connected with the works you refer to. I invented the World Peace Game in 1978 independent of any others organizations or games. I wasn’t at all savvy about the gaming world back then (was there one in 1978??) but was only propelled by my gifted social studies class needs at the time.

The film that the interview refers to, is being finished up and hopefully will be released this year. Meanwhile I am thinking of gearing up production models so that others might enjoy.

Thanks for your interest!

John

Is this game available for other teachers to use? I and several of my teacher colleagues are very interested in this game.

Is this the same game that in 2001, a for-profit educational company named ‘O. S. Earth’ purchased the principal assets of the World Game Institute and has been offering a Global Simulation Workshop that is claimed to be a ‘direct descendant of Buckminster Fuller’s famous World Game?

Thank you for your help.
