Project Overview:
Three Phases
The Doors to Diplomacy competition requires participants
to complete several tasks within three phases to be eligible for judging.
Phase 1: Research and Publish
Develop
and publish a web project, based on original research about your chosen topic.
- Form a team consisting of 2-4 students and 1-2 adult
coaches.
- Select one of the eight Doors to Diplomacy categories
and conduct an original research project involving your selected
topic, explaining how your project raises awareness about
diplomacy.
- Publish your research findings as
an educational Web project that teaches others about diplomacy.
- Important:
Include a bibliography in which you cite your sources and
document where your information came from. When conducting original research and
publishing a report or project, it is always necessary to identify the
source of your information. See examples of how to

processes.
