Student projects

Extracurricular activities are a great way for students to supplement their training, and may in some cases be recognized as for-credit activities by the program director. 

 

Simulations of international organizations

Simulations not only place students in a highly realistic arena of summit negotiations, they also provide opportunities to build networks with young people from all walks of life during the event. They are held each year at a university or international organization. 

All the delegations below have their mailboxes in our offices, except ASNUUL, which has a mailbox at the Department of Political Science.

Model Organization of American States (MOEA-Laval)
