NAUSIM: A Journey Through Parliamentary Simulation
Parliament in Motion: The NAUSIM Experience
This year’s FNF Parliamentary Simulation NauSim unfolded over four dynamic days, offering participants an engaging experience in parliamentary procedures and party politics.
Excitement filled the air as participants arrived, registered, and connected during the opening day. The ceremony featured inspiring speeches by Amro Nawaisa and Qais Zaiaden, who underscored the vital role of youth in shaping political discourse in Jordan.
Understanding Parliamentary Dynamics
Participants immersed themselves in the mechanics of Jordan's parliamentary system through interactive activities and a dive into political ideologies, ranging from liberalism and social democracy to conservatism. The simulation kicked off as roles and party assignments were finalised, and an energetic parliamentary session saw the election of a Speaker and the distribution of committee responsibilities.
Teamwork and negotiation took centre stage as participants refined legislative proposals during party and bloc meetings. Expert-led committee discussions brought debates to life, allowing participants to draft and amend laws. The day’s lively exchanges laid the foundation for presenting polished proposals in the final session.
Reflection and Youth Participation
The event culminated in a parliamentary session where participants debated and voted on proposals, showcasing their skills and confidence. A reflective evaluation session followed, offering insights and takeaways. The heartfelt graduation ceremony celebrated their achievements, leaving attendees inspired to bring their learnings into real-world scenarios.
NauSim successfully bridges civic education and practice, empowering youth in Jordan to step into the world of politics with confidence and vision.
Relevance for Jordan
NauSim is a critical platform for cultivating politically informed and engaged youth who can actively contribute to Jordan's democratic journey. By simulating parliamentary processes, participants gain first-hand experience in negotiation, legislative drafting, and political collaboration—skills essential for addressing the country’s challenges. This initiative aligns with Jordan's modernisation efforts, fostering a generation equipped to uphold democratic values, advocate for reform, and bridge the gap between political institutions and citizens.
