A Year of Transformative Growth in Model Governance Programs
The Model Good Governance program fosters a culture of peace, diplomacy, and leadership through dynamic simulations in Model Good Governance, Model United Nations, Model European Union, and Model Arab League – these activities offer invaluable experience in negotiation, public speaking, and critical thinking.
The culmination of their efforts for the 2023/2024 project year was celebrated on June 12 at LAU Byblos, where over 400 delegates and their families honored their achievements. This event recognized the students' dedication and growth, showcasing their understanding of global topics and commitment to good governance and diplomacy.
As we approach the fifth year of this inspiring collaboration, we are excited to offer even more opportunities for young leaders to excel. Our mission remains to nurture a new generation of thinkers and change makers, ready to tackle the challenges of an interconnected world. Congratulations to all the participants for their remarkable achievements! We look forward to many more endeavors in empowering the leaders of tomorrow.
