  • Patrick Roberts - Diplomacy

    Patrick Roberts - Diplomacy
    Apr 13 2026

    In this episode of Talking Heads, Patrick Roberts, Head of School at Palmer Trinity School in Miami, USA, reflects on how diplomacy skills are developed through Round Square International Conferences and within the life of his school.

    Drawing on insights from a recent Model United Nations session, Patrick highlights that what stood out was not disagreement, but how students approached it. They listened carefully, asked thoughtful questions, adapted their thinking, and gradually worked toward shared understanding. Rather than seeking to “win” an argument, students focused on building consensus.
