African Leadership Academy Model African Union (ALAMAU) is an annual leadership conference for young leaders around Africa and across the world, simulating the activities of the African Union. ALAMAU was established in 2013 as a platform for young leaders to develop implementable solutions to African development challenges through diplomacy and international cooperation, in a format inspired by the Model United Nations and the African Union. Delegates to ALAMAU serve as representatives of various African governments on nine organs of the African Union, affording them the opportunity to study complex African issues, understand the positions of African countries, and learn to successfully negotiate without compromising national interests. By assuming the roles of African leaders, ALAMAU aims to empower young leaders to model international cooperation for development while celebrating diversity. The conference experience will, however, not be limited to these committee sessions; through presentations by African Union officials and multi-sectoral experts, a diplomatic roundtable featuring ambassadors from several countries, educational tours to historic sites and a cultural night celebrating the continent’s diversity, delegates will experience a highly educative and stimulating conference. There will also be parallel sessions for educators who will participate in roundtable discussions with thought-leaders, and engage in peer learning to advance their knowledge of the continent.
