International Youth Forum model as a leadership skillbuilder.
Every year I organise an "International Youth forum" model for about 150 students of Nakhodka schools. It's a big event at school for local students with internantional guests' invitation. Previous years it was called 'G8 model meeting",but last year we slightly changed the format. On this forum students choose a country,study its problems,make a presentation on the hot issues and discuss the solutions of the problems. The main goals of the event are to develop students' leadeship skills,to get involve them into discussion about global problems and to find the way of solving these problems.Moreover this forum is held in English only and students have English language practiice all over the event. A lot of preparation students make in advance,they bring PPT presentation about the country,make flags,draw a poster with country information.They have a plenary session where they present a country and small groups sessions where they discussed topics with invited international guests.
You can watch links to have an idea about the event.

I think that teachers will be interested in my experience of organising the event and it will be very usefull for their students to think globally.
