In the heart of Sydney’s historic NSW Parliament, the chambers echoed not with seasoned politicians, but with the passionate voices of tomorrow’s leaders. The annual Model Global Parliament (MGP) returned this year, bigger and better than ever, bringing together secondary and university students from across Australia and the globe for a transformative experience in global citizenship and leadership.

Far more than a simulation, the MGP is a living platform—where ideas become action, and young minds are entrusted with the responsibility of navigating issues like climate change, social inequality, peacebuilding, and digital governance. With participants representing diverse nations, cultures, and perspectives, this model parliament cultivates not only debate, but collaborative policymaking grounded in empathy, critical thinking, and cross-cultural understanding.
