Lagos Model United Nations Conference

YouthHubAfrica supported Ford Foundation to host a 3-Day Lagos Model United Nation Conference which held between 13th -15th of July 2017 at the Faculty of Law, University of Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria with the theme ‘Innovation, Development and Diversity for Global Sustainability’. With 500 Students, Lecturers and partners in attendance, the conference stimulated 5 committees of the United Nations and 2 of the African Union. During the simulation, students took on roles of diplomats from other countries, international organizations among others to simulate various committees of international bodies. It also had a side event that featured an Idea Fair and Career Fair; a platform for delegates to engage and interact with schools from all over the world with opportunities that might be useful to them in the long run. During the Idea Fair at the event, the most creative, entrepreneurial and sustainable project plan were given cash prizes while some NGO and private sector partners promised technical support on the ideas as well as mentoring. This event was able to create a platform for young and aspiring individuals to develop skills, learn and understand the skills needed to engage and communicate in International Community.
