Description
GYM-NATO is an international student simulation of NATO’s decision making process, under the sponsorship of the Italian Atlantic Committee, that will be held in Gorizia (Italy) at the prestigious Conference Centre of the Degree Course in International and Diplomatic Sciences of the University of Trieste- Branch of Gorizia.
It aims at fostering the awareness of NATO’s role, activities and organization as well as at increasing the understanding of the capabilities and the restrictions that shape the decisions of NATO Member States in matter of collective defense. Moreover, as far as the main theme of the simulation will be NATO’s role in the new Mediterranean geopolitical asset, we would like to generate awareness of NATO’s activities with the partners in the broader region, especially the Mediterranean Dialogue Countries that will be included in the simulation, but also about the main challenges to the euro-atlantic integration and to the postconflict peace building operations.
