International Model African Union

The International Model African Union (AU) course is a wonderful experiential learning opportunity for Rowan students that offers them an opportunity to represent one of the member states of the African Union. Students will learn about their assigned country’s history, socioeconomic and political development, and contemporary challenges; and they will write papers and resolutions that reflect the AU’s assigned topics in several committees: (1) committee on democracy, governance and human rights; (2) committee on economic matters; (3) committee on social matters; (4) committee on pan-Africanism and continental unity; and (5) committee on peace and security. In addition, students will study the role, structure, and activities of the African Union as well as the economic, social, environmental and political-security issues facing African countries.
