Model CHOGM

Model Commonwealth Summits, also known as Model CHOGMs, give students an opportunity to explore the work of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting through discussion, negotiation and cooperation.

The Royal Commonwealth Society ACT Branch has previously organised Model Commonwealth Summits, including an event held in 2016 in the former House of Representatives chamber at Old Parliament House.

Participants take on the roles of Commonwealth leaders, researching their countries’ perspectives and working together to reach consensus on shared challenges. Other roles may include media representatives and members of a communiqué drafting team.

These activities help students develop research, public speaking, negotiation and critical thinking skills, while building their understanding of the Commonwealth and its diverse member countries.

No Model CHOGM event is currently scheduled by the ACT Branch. Details of any future event will be published on this website.
