Public policy simulation
Leadership you can play
Teams create fictional parties, defend their positions in debates, survive a crisis round and fight for political victory — while the audience picks the topics, the crisis and the winner in real time.
The legend
What is the Agora?
The Agora is the place that has drawn the greatest minds since ancient Greece, where ideas are contested and truth is born. Where speeches catch fire and hearts ignite.
Epochs change, but the leader's role does not.
Mechanics
How the simulation runs
11 steps from forming a party to the final rating — the audience picks the topics and the crisis, and voting happens from smartphones via the QR code on the big screen.
Game path
01 / 11
Forming parties
A team births a party
Teams create fictional parties — name, symbol, platform — and prepare them for a public launch.
What Agora teaches
Leadership in action
Agora combines building a position, public argumentation, live audience reaction and solving an unexpected problem. The format turns leadership from an abstract quality into a set of observable practices.
Public argumentation
Participants learn to articulate a position clearly, present it to an audience and respond to objections.
Teamwork
A party builds a shared platform, distributes roles and holds a consistent line throughout the game.
Negotiation and coalitions
The coalition mechanics provide a safe space for negotiation, compromise and joint decision-making.
Deciding under uncertainty
The hidden crisis demands quickly analysing a new situation, setting priorities and proposing a workable response.
