Yale Model Government Europe (YMGE)

Yale Model Government Europe, held in Lisbon, Portugal from Nov. 27-Nov. 29, is a unique crisis based high-school Model UN conference run by Yale students

The conference comprises of two types of sessions. In standard committee debate, delegates will be placed in a parliament, European government, or supranational body to discuss important issues pertaining to the future of Europe and the international community. In crisis sessions, all committees will have to table their individual debates to come together and solve an issue that threatens the integrity of the international system and European integration.
