Founded in 2012, Harvard Model Congress Middle East is a 501(c)(3) educational non-profit organization dedicated to teaching high school students from around the worlds about the American government and international politics. HMCME is a government simulation run entirely by Harvard students dedicated to international relations, teaching, and politics. It is the premier international government simulation for high school students in the Middle East. HMCME offers students the unique opportunity to assume the role of real life senators, congressmen, and international delegations as they engage in debate throughout the course of the three-day conference. To assist the delegates, our dedicated staff of Harvard students researches and writes briefings on each committee topic. Students use these materials and the guidance of our staffers to inspire debate, cooperation, and legislation. Above all, Harvard Model Congress Middle East is a teaching organization. After three days of thorough debate, cooperation and hard work, each conference delegate will leave with increased confidence and leadership skills, · an understanding of the workings of intergovernmental organizations, improved public speaking skills and a better mastery of English speech making, and the ability to find common ground among disparate views.
