History
CRISP was founded in 2007 by Florian Dunkel and Andreas Muckenfuß.[3] Since its founding, CRISP's work has focused on peaceful conflict resolution in post-war areas.[4] Furthermore, CRISP has advanced the methodology and application of simulation gaming in civic education and civil conflict management.[4] Since 2019, CRISP is a member of ALDA – The European Association for Local Democracy.[5][6] CRISP is also a member of the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC) Foundation.[7]
Organization
The organization conducts training and workshops in conflict transformation and civic education utilizing simulation games.[8][3] CRISP specializes in the implementation of simulation games as an educational method. The simulation games designed by CRISP are implemented by CRISP employees, trainers, students, and professionals as a learning tool in the field of conflict management.[9] The simulation games are individually tailored to replicate and imitate a complex conflict using role-play elements.[10][11] The simulation games seek to explore various questions such as, "How can the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine end and what could a post-conflict scenario look like? How can religious extremism in Kyrgyzstan and Kenya be prevented? How could a liberal and democratic Egypt look like in 2025?"[12] Simulation games are not a commonly used educational method but may have great potential.[12] Simulation games are used by CRISP as an education method to increase tolerance of others, learn to cooperate with others from different backgrounds, understand different perspectives, enhance theoretical knowledge and practical navigation systems, test one's social capabilities, and improve skills like negotiation, strategic planning, and the ability to compromise.[1]
CRISP's objective is to advance the critical understanding of democracy and democratic values, international and intercultural understanding, and tolerance in conflict-affected regions.[1][3] According to the official website, CRISP has conducted 202 projects, has 50 partners, and operates in 25 countries.[3] The main target groups are individuals who have an interest in immersive learning methods, particularly the youth and civil society organizations.[1] CRISP is working in Eastern Europe and former Soviet Countries, the MENA Region, Sub-Sahara-Africa, South America, Central Asia, the Caucasus, the European Union, and Germany:
Europe and Caucasus
CRISP is active in Europe and the Caucasus.[13][14][15]
CRISP is an organizer and partner of the international conference DataFest Tbilisi 2022, which purpose is to inspire professionals to use data to create change.[16]
CRISP recently hosted the conference CuDi - Cultural Diplomacy to Counter Disinformation in September 2022 in Berlin, Germany.[17][18][19] This conference consisted of panel discussions, lectures, and workshops regarding cultural diplomacy, countering disinformation, and civil society education in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine.[17] CRISP is also actively raising donations for Ukraine's educators with their partner EdCamp Ukraine and collaboratively conducting educational projects.[20][21] According to CRISP's website, they are also actively raising donations for protective vests for Ukraine.[22]
CRISP participated in the Amazon-sponsored digital.engagiert 2022, a program that offers support to programs that offer initiative digital solutions. At the event, they introduced their simulation game "Wer Regiert Neuland" which promotes the understanding of German democratic processes in a web-based application.[23]
At the Autumn Academy 2022 in Essen, CRISP led the workshop "Bürger*innenbeteiligung im kommunalen Bildugsmanagement" and conducted the simulation game Großbürgerhausen with participants from the Essen local government, members of civil society, and educational institutions.[24][25]
In 2019, CRISP implemented the simulation game "Quo Vadis Ukraine?" for officers of the German Federal Amy.[26][27] This simulation game was designed to enhance understanding of the ongoing war in Ukraine, including viable agreements to end the war and how to agree upon the Crimean Peninsula, thus gaining a deeper understanding of Ukraine's perspective and interests.[26][27]
CRISP is a featured partner in the SALTO-Youth partner finding tool.[28] SALTO-Youth collaborates with the Erasmus+ Youth and the European Solidarity Corps.[28] CRISP conducted TAYA - Training Active Youth Workers in Anti-Discrimination Education training course in Greece in 2021. Participants were taught how to conduct anti-discrimination education and emphasis social justice.[29][30][31] CRISP also conducted a training called E+ Youth-Activizenship in 2018-2019 in Germany. This program sought to increase youth's interest in participating in EU communities.[32][33][34]
Central Asia
CRISP has implemented projects in central Asia.[35] For example, CRISP conducted a workshop on climate change in Central Asia and a simulation game NISIA - Climate-Induced Crises in 2021 at the OSCE Academy in which 13 youth from Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan participated.[36][37] They also conducted a certificate training program called Peace and Conflict Cross-Cultural Communications, in which 19 participants from Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Mongolia took part in the OSCE Academy.[38] CRISP carried out a two-year project in 2017-2018. The project's goal was to inspire the youth in Kyrgyzstan to be interested in democracy, increase social cohesion, and combat radicalization.[39] As part of the project, a simulation game was conducted to teach participants about stereotypes and different perspectives.[40]
MENA Region
CRISP has a long history of conducting projects in the MENA region.[41] In 2018, CRISP conducted a simulation game on the Syrian conflict to deepen participants' understanding of the conflict dynamics between the numerous actors involved in this conflict and possible peace agreements for the Syrian war.[42][43][44]
In 2016, CRISP held a simulation game workshop on recent migration policy called SiMigration to increase awareness of the complex migration situation in Europe, the difficulties of European decision-making, and how to assist refugees.[45][46]
Sub-Sahara-Africa
CRISP focuses efforts on Sub-Sahara Africa.[47] CRISP has recently partnered with the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung to conduct a workshop for the National Women's Conference for Peace in Cameroon in 2022.[48] Also, CRISP organized with their partner Sudan Youth Organization for Climate Change SYOCC, the 2022 program "Sudan Youth Delegates."

Some participants attended an excursion to New York, USA to attend the UN Youth delegation and participate in the General Assembly of the UN.[49]
