About Model Government

Our Model Government is basically a simulation of how the real law-making process works. Let’s say we are given a societal problem, such as traffic congestion or air pollution. In a real government, deputies create proposals to solve the issue, present them to Senators, and after evaluation and voting, the most practical proposals are sent to the President. The President then reviews them and makes the final decision. Our event follows the same structure. Lets say, we have 25 participants, they will be divided into 5 groups (parties), with 5 participants in each group acting as deputies. We also have 3–4 judges who act as Senators, and one person who acts as the President for the final stage. At the beginning of the event, we present the problem statement. The deputies (participants) are then given 30–40 minutes to discuss the problem within their teams and prepare their law proposals. After that, each team is given 10 minutes to present its proposal to the Senators. The Senators evaluate the proposals and vote. Usually, the two teams with the most practical and well-presented proposals advance to the second stage. In the second stage, these teams present their proposals to the President. Before presenting, they are given additional time to improve and refine their proposals. The President then reviews the final versions and makes the ultimate decision by selecting the winning team (party).
