Model G20 2027 at FLAME University, registrations now open

An immersive diplomacy summit

Step into the room where
the world gets negotiated.

Model G20 is an immersive simulation of the G20 Leaders’ Summit. You don’t just debate, you represent a nation, negotiate the real global agenda, and sign a communiqué the way world leaders actually do. It’s the diplomacy simulation for students who want the real thing.

What it is

The summit where the economy gets negotiated.

Model G20 puts you inside the room where the decisions that move 85% of global GDP are actually made. Delegates take on the real G20 agenda, climate, finance, the digital economy, across dual Sherpa & Finance tracks, and negotiate a shared communiqué by consensus. Hosted on the FLAME University campus, it carries the academic rigour of real policy-making.

85%of global GDP
75%of world trade
⅔of the world’s population

What makes it different

Not a debate, a summit.

Model G20 simulates how the world’s largest economies actually get things done, by consensus, not a vote. See the full Model G20 vs Model UN comparison →

Economics first

You work the real G20 agenda, economic stability, climate, trade, digital governance, not generic resolutions.

Consensus, not a vote

No majority vote and no veto. Delegates negotiate a shared communiqué, the harder, more real diplomatic skill.

Real diplomatic structure

Dual Sherpa & Finance tracks, lobbying, crisis simulations and communiqué drafting, closer to how the summit actually runs.

Delegate prep

Write a position paper chairs remember.

Our free 12-page guide takes you from research to a finished paper: research methods, a PESTEL analysis worked through step by step, a full sample paper with notes on why it works, a checklist and a fill-in template.
