This project aims to achieve diversity, continuity and sustainability. MoNYS 2012 will take place in the capital city of the European Union, and benefits from the fruitful cooperation with the NATO Headquarters in Brussels and Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB). The conference serves as a platform for young delegates with different backgrounds, to share their ideas and network. During this six-day event, students will have the chance to broaden their views on different political approaches, while getting to know each other’s cultures better.
MoNYS 2012 addresses the topics of smart defence, military capabilities, emerging security, fight against cyber attacks, missile defence shield and partnership action plan with the Caucasus countries. The ultimate goal is to deepen NATO’s decision-making process, while creating a platform for students to enhance their consensus-reaching skills, alongside mastering the art of negotiation. Together we embark on the path towards a more peaceful and tolerant world, where citizens are in search of humankind’s ultimate goals: world peace, global security, economic prosperity, scientific improvements and worldwide literacy.
