BHS Delegates Gear Up for 10th Consecutive Model OAS Debate Conference

Belize High School (BHS) announced its participation in the 10th consecutive Model Organization of American States (OAS) Debate Conference, set to take place at the OAS Headquarters in Washington, D.C., from November 20-22, 2024.

The Model OAS General Assembly (MOAS) offers students from across the Americas an immersive simulation of the political and parliamentary processes of the OAS General Assembly and Permanent Council. The event aims to foster democratic values, enhance leadership and communication skills, and provide students with hands-on experience in diplomacy and negotiation.

This year, BHS will be represented by 13 delegates who will assume the roles of Ecuador and Jamaica during the conference. This global engagement opportunity provides the students with a platform to showcase their leadership, public speaking, critical thinking, and networking skills on an international stage.
