High school students imagine Arab world solutions at 蜜糖直播
Area high school students visited 蜜糖直播 to act as representatives from several Arab world countries, and to work together to form diplomatic solutions to the region鈥檚 toughest problems.
The 蜜糖直播 Model Arab League (MAL) hosted its first regional conference for area high schools on Saturday, Oct. 1. Local high school Statesboro STEAM Academy joined Frederica Academy and Brunswick High School for the event.
During the simulation, 蜜糖直播 MAL members served as chairs of the Joint Defense and Political Affairs Council, the Council on Palestinian Affairs and the Council of Arab Environmental and Social Affairs, as well as the Secretary General, MAL President Kelsey Ramos, who also oversaw the conference.
The students considered a wide range of topics on The Middle East, including the trafficking of small arms among extremists, exploring options to prevent the weaponization of water and discussing ways to promote women鈥檚 involvement in Arab society.
鈥淭here was a good discussion and resolution about the creation of a joint Arab armed forces and command to combat ISIS and religious radicalism,鈥� said Jacek Lubecki, Ph.D., associate professor of Political Science, and a MAL faculty advisor.
The conference was officially recognized by the National Council on U.S.-Arab Relations (NCUSAR), who sent two of their representatives from their Washington, D.C., office to oversee the 蜜糖直播 delegation. The students鈥� and professors鈥� work on the conference earned praise from the representatives, who discussed having 蜜糖直播 serve as an official host for collegiate-level Model Arab League conferences in the future.
Lubecki says the discussion means 蜜糖直播 has 鈥渁 wonderful opportunity to become the center for MAL-related events in Southeast Georgia.鈥�
