The 5th Extraordinary Summit of the Youth Model African Union (YMAU) is a full diplomatic experience where young people step into the shoes of the African Head of States and Presidents to simulate the African Union’s decision-making processes. The summit is designed to engage African youth in continental diplomacy, governance, and policymaking.

The summit mirrors the structure and operations of the African Union, offering young leaders a unique opportunity to collaboratively explore and address Africa’s most pressing challenges for African development. The 5th Extraordinary summit of YMAU will take place in African Union headquarters in Addis Ababa, marking a historic moment in bringing young Africans into the very halls where continental decisions are made and will be held in collaboration with the African Union Commission, UNDP regional office Addis Ababa, Model AU-Ethiopia, Bahai International Community Organization, and Ethiopia Youth Dialogue for Peace. 

Attending the 5th Extraordinary Summit of YMAU at the AU headquarters, delegates not only gain an immersive diplomatic and leadership experience but also become part of a continental movement of young African leaders, shaping the future of the continent in alignment with the AU Agenda 2063. The YMAU Summit is your gateway to diplomacy, leadership, and continental impact, an experience that builds leaders, networks, and communities.
