GWCIA is designed to provide a valuable educational experience for participants. Debate is conducted in a professional manner and atmosphere according to parliamentary procedure. Delegates interact with their peers while they gain valuable experience debating current world issues. The conference, held at GW, emphasizes diplomacy and negotiation as a means for solving conflict.
GW students staff the event. As members of the International Affairs society, the staff is equipped with experience and knowledge of international relations and Model United Nations.
“I thought the conference was really well organized. I had a lot of fun, this was my first time staffing a Model UN conference,” said Grace Aucella, a GW freshman who worked the conference as a crisis staffer for the African Union committee.
This years conference highlighted a variety of topics, both historical and contemporary, covering diverse sets of interest and regions of the world.
"It was a good experience, since I usually compete in Model UN, it was good to get a new perspective of how a conference is run. I really enjoyed working with the middle school students because it is nice that they are so interested in international affairs at such a young age,” said Avani Singh, another freshman staffer.
