ABOUT THE EVENT
Model G20 is an immersive simulation of the G20 Leaders' Summit.
Participants step into the shoes of world leaders to discuss global economic cooperation.
The Model G20 Summit at FLAME University, Pune, organized by One Young India, is a premier platform designed for students who want to move beyond debate and into the realm of formal policy advocacy. This experience is uniquely structured to provide tangible professional outcomes, specifically through the creation of academic white papers and high-level presentations.
The Model G20 Experience: From Delegate to Policy Advisor
