context_page_description: Prague Student Summit is an educational project for high school and university students, which has more than 20 years of tradition in the Czech Republic. Through simulation of negotiations of international organizations, the participants have the opportunity to widen their knowledge in fields like international affairs, human rights, economy, cultural heritage and environment. At the same time, they can develop their rhetorical, presentation and argumentation skills. The Prague Student Summit gives the participants a unique opportunity to get a glimpse of the world of diplomacy and international relations. It is a project that endorses the idea of informal education, puts emphasis on the development of individual and this way complements the education in Czech schools.
  Over the years, the format of the Prague Student Summit developed considerably; today it offers simulations of 4 key organizations: UN, NATO, EU and OSCE. The participants in each model defend the interests of the states they represent and negotiate in the same way as real representatives of individual countries would.

Along with the new skills and knowledge the model introduces students to fundamental ideas and goals of this largest international organisation, such as the will to solve global conflict with diplomacy and pursuit of a more just International Order. 
  The Model UN offers students an opportunity to experience  the world of diplomacy through a simulated negotiation in seven bodies: United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Disarmament and International Security Committee (DISEC) Economic and Financial Affairs Council (ECOFIN), Human Rights Council (HRC), United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA).
