Simulating Conflicts to learn how to manage them: THE ACCORD Online role-play simulation game has recently received more attention in the training and education fields as a mechanism for providing generative learning in simulated contexts. Simulations can provide a solid platform upon which role-play games can be created and used to promote soft skills development. This form of active learning provides a unique tool for training people in different contexts that may be able to benefit from the availability of open source e-learning tools due to a common lack of access to affordable training and developmental resources. Within this paper a project to develop a new e-learning role-single-play game called , which exploits the output of the European project ENACT, will be described. ENACT is a simulation tool being developed to provide an affordable and accessible means for schools, enterprises, professional training and sport contexts to access on-line training to enhance their “soft skills”, and in particular negotiation competence. ACCORD project aim at applying such simulation-based technology for enhancing multicultural negotiation skills in teachers.
