Major Activities

IYDC offers a variety of activities designed to bring out the best in young people from across the continent.

MUN

The committee sessions aim to teach delegates about the workings of the United Nations General Assembly and other committees. Through debates, discussions, and negotiations, delegates can enhance their public speaking skills and confidence.

GLOBAL VILLAGE

We believe in the rich diversity of the African culture. As such, during our Global Village, we create a platform to showcase the various culture by allowing delegates to promote their culture through music, cuisine, dancing and ways peculiar to their respective countries.

ELDERS' FORUM

This is an interactive session where we engage the expertise of experienced diplomats and international relations experts. Attendees have the opportunity to connect and interact with knowledgeable individuals.

DIPLOMATIC DINNER AND AWARDS NIGHT

The Diplomatic Dinner and Awards Night will be held to recognize and award outstanding delegates and bid farewell.

Personal and Career Development Seminar

Young people need life skills. At the Personal and Career Development session, experts share nuggets for attendees to advance personally and professionally.

SOCIALS

IYDC is an intellectual conference that also offers fun-packed social activities for delegates to connect and build lifelong connections. Delegates will have the opportunity to tour the city of Accra and other historical sites in Ghana.
