The two-day PGCAS event, held on 19th and 20th August, 2023 was filled with excitement and anticipation. Delegates, arriving from every corner of the city, gathered with a shared purpose: to engage with global issues and cultivate essential life skills.
Day one commenced with a thorough briefing session, where delegates were introduced to the summit’s expectations and operational guidelines. This session formed the bedrock upon which the subsequent days’ activities rested.
The grand inauguration ceremony followed, setting an inspirational tone for the entire summit. It underscored the importance of unity and collaboration in addressing the world’s most significant challenges. With the stage aptly set, delegates delved into committee sessions, where they partook in spirited discussions, negotiations, and debates. These sessions served as a platform for delegates to apply critical thinking, diplomacy, and problem-solving skills while grappling with real-world issues.
PGCAS acknowledged that learning extended far beyond the committee rooms—it thrived on the relationships forged during these moments. Day two saw the intellectual journey continue, with committee sessions and breaks providing additional opportunities for discussions and networking. Delegates dived deeper into their chosen committees, immersing themselves in the heart of global issues, and later presented their findings and solutions during the Motion of entertainment (MOE) session.
