The Model African Union (MAU) offers high school students an exceptional opportunity to develop critical 21st-century skills through experiential learning. In this interactive simulation, students represent African countries and engage with real issues facing the continent. Unlike traditional debate formats, MAU emphasizes diplomacy and consensus-building, preparing students for collaborative problem-solving in our interconnected world.
