National Student CHOGM is the premier annual event hosted by Commonwealth Youth New Zealand.
In this setting, high school students will get to take on the role of Head of Government or Foreign Minister of a Commonwealth member state, or as a special envoy from an observer organisation. Held over two days in Wellington at Parliament, delegates will debate everything from climate change to monetary policy from the perspective of the government they are representing.
Delegates will also get to participate in a model Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group (CMAG) scenario where they will be tasked with resolving a burgeoning conflict between two fictional member states.
If collaboration is needed then there will be chances to break into smaller groups and present findings and potential resolutions to the Student CHOGM on behalf of a group or bloc.
Delegates can also put their names forward to be considered for the role of National Student CHOGM Secretary-General. The successful applicant will chair all the conference plenary sessions, be in charge of encouraging delegates to form resolutions on the points of debate, and present an opening and closing address to assembled delegations, invited guests, and Commonwealth High Commissioners accredited to New Zealand.
