NEW YORK, NY / FORDHAM UNIVERSITY


Learn how diplomacy shapes world events at the GLOBAL LEADERSHIP SUMMIT.
Never has there been a more important time to understand leadership on a global level and the factors that affect our international balance of power and peace. At the Global Leadership Summit, you’ll explore the real and complex issues facing our world today. Meet diplomats and policymakers to discuss and examine global issues and weigh possible solutions. The skills you learn will be an invaluable asset, serving you throughout your life.

Visit two of the most powerful cities in the world.
The Global Leadership Summit takes you to the heart of our nation and our world’s political and economic centers – Washington, DC and New York City. The dual –city structure of the program is designed to expose you to global leadership and power in our nation’s capital and at the United Nations in New York.

Work to find solutions at the INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMACY SIMULATION.

You won’t just be learning how heads of state and agency officials handle real-world situations, you’ll be considering the same issues they do and presenting your own solutions.

You’ll be presented with real-life international crises or disruptions of peace, and you’ll tackle the issues acting as a head of government, an emissary from an international organization, or a representative of a special interest group. Weigh the options and work toward peaceful solutions to maintain the delicate balance of global power during this hands-on experience. You’ll learn by immersion, gaining a new understanding of and appreciation for the complex situations our leaders face every day.
