The Brazilian municipality of Boa Vista experienced a huge influx of Venezuelan migrants in the 2010s. By 2018, its public services were overloaded, and a measles outbreak, traced back to a Venezuelan child, was spreading quickly. Mayor Teresa Surita had prioritised integrating Venezuelans into the community, but faced a dilemma as the measles cases spread and anti-immigrant sentiment started to rise. Should she recalibrate her strategy?

This role-play centres around a school shortage in the fictional Brazilian municipality of Cássio. The municipality wants to build schools through a public-private partnership, but has come to an impasse over the price with the leading bidder, Plano Inteligente. In this short two-party, multi-issue negotiation, students role-play a negotiation between the municipal secretary of education and the managing director of Plano to introduce them to the dynamics of integrative negotiations.
