Every student was representing a NATO country and had a mentor, officers at Headquarters Multinational Division South-East (HQ MND-SE) and Headquarters Multinational Brigade South-East (HQ MN BDE SE) who were guiding the students regarding NATO and security themes and to better understand the point of view of the country they were representing. Before the challenge itself, the students prepared an essay over a global security issue and at the competition they had to debate a complicated crisis situation, to take a common decision and to draft a final resolution.
”It was a great opportunity to find more details about diplomacy and global security”, said one of the students, emphasizing the fact that “NATO Challenge” helped her better understand NATO and the actual security environment.
