| Presidential Classroom: Future World Leaders Summit |
|
The Future World Leaders Summit brings together student leaders from around the world to explore international relations, diplomacy and the changing world economy. Participants are both international students (age 16 to 19) and U.S. students interested in international relations. Each year more than 50 countries are represented.
Students are organized into delegations based on the participating countries and regions of the world. (Some U.S. students will role play citizens of the various delegations). Each delegation will select representatives for working groups to tackle the issues that are in the international news. Working groups develop communiqué position papers based on these international issues to present during the Final Summit Meeting. Students receive a firsthand lesson in diplomacy, multilateral negotiation and compromise. The American Academy of Diplomacy and the Forum for Young Canadians participated in the development of this program.
