The Model G20 Initiative is a premier educational simulation for high school and university students, offering a dynamic immersion into the world of international diplomacy and multilateral cooperation.
By replicating the annual G20 Summit, it provides a powerful platform for students, educators, and professionals to engage with pressing global challenges and co-create innovative solutions.
Participants explore critical issues such as global economic stability, climate change, sustainable development, international trade, and digital governance; reflecting the comprehensive agenda of the G20, a forum representing over 85% of global GDP, 75% of world trade, and two-thirds of the global population.
This immersive experience fosters a deep understanding of global interdependence and the transformative potential of consensus-based diplomacy and collaborative problem-solving.
Why Model G20?
In today's interconnected world, global governance is shifting towards agile, consensus-driven models, exemplified by the G20's strategic collaboration among top economies, rather than the UN's majority-vote approach. Model G20 embodies this modern paradigm, offering a compelling alternative to Model UN. It emphasizes real-world diplomatic practices: engaging participants in dual negotiation tracks, promoting high-stakes diplomacy, and prioritizing strategic negotiation, coalition-building, and consensus-based decision-making.
Participants gain hands-on experience by drafting communiqués, navigating diplomatic pressure and nuanced language negotiations, responding to crisis simulations, and learning to balance national interests with the common good. Beyond the simulation, they benefit from expert-led workshops, keynote speakers (including diplomats, global institution leaders, and academics), and professional networking opportunities.
Academic research confirms that immersive, collaborative simulations like Model G20 significantly boost cross-cultural communication, public speaking, analytical thinking, and self-efficacy. The result is a rigorous, realistic simulation that equips future leaders with practical leadership, negotiation, and global problem-solving skills, enabling them to effectively navigate a world where collective action and consensus are essential for development.

Model G20 is Your Launchpad!
Model G20 Initiative is not just about understanding global issues; it's about experiencing the process of policy-making and negotiation first-hand. Participants are not merely observers but active players, gaining insights into the complexities of international diplomacy.
Through this immersive experience, they develop essential 21st century skills such as critical thinking, articulate communication, and collaborative leadership. Model G20 is not only an educational tool but a gateway to becoming an informed, engaged, and effective global citizen, ready to face the challenges of our interconnected world."
