Model ASEM is your first-hand introduction to the exciting world of diplomacy, negotiation and international relations. Being a simulation of the ASEM Foreign Ministers’ Meeting (ASEMFMM), at the Model ASEM you will have the chance to step into the shoes of ASEM Foreign Ministers and along with other students, debate and exchange perspectives on current political and bi-regional issues.
The Model ASEM series organised by ASEF is unique as it takes place in conjunction with official ASEMFMMs and hence provides participants with a golden opportunity to personally interact with ASEM Foreign Minister and government officials.
The 9th Model ASEM will consist of 3 phases:
Phase 1: Online Preparatory phase (6 weeks)
Prior to playing out your role as a Foreign Minister or Delegation member at the 9th Model ASEM, you will attend online crash courses on policy making, webinars on Asia-Europe relations and complete individual and group tasks and research. During the online preparatory phase you might also get in touch with officials at Ministries of Foreign Affairs to build up a stronger expertise on ASEM.
Phase 2: Model ASEM Simulation in Madrid, Spain (5 days)
The programme in Spain consists of plenary sessions and thematic working groups with a focus on the key topics also discussed by the ASEM Foreign Ministers at the ASEMFMM14. As a concrete outcome, you will develop a consensus-based Chair’s Statement which will be presented to the ASEM Foreign Ministers at the Opening Ceremony of the ASEMFMM14.
In addition, you will also participate in practical trainings, and visit Diplomatic Missions of ASEM countries located in Madrid to gain an in-depth knowledge about their operations and functions.
Phase 3: 14th ASEM Foreign Ministers’ Meeting (ASEMFMM14)
This is your chance to attend parts of the official ASEMFMM14 programme and to interact with your Foreign Minister and government officials and/or of other ASEM countries.
The grand finale: Student participants will present a summary of the project’s outcomes to the ASEM Foreign Ministers at the Opening Ceremony of the ASEMFMM14.
