Abstract
Students researched the countries of Lithuania and Bulgaria and their policy towards various international issues relating to the interests of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO. Among these were topics such as Resetting the Relationship with Russia, Militarization of Space, Cyber Defense, and Relations with China and India. Then on February 14, students attended a four-day conference in Washington DC in which they participated in a simulation of the subcommittees of NATO. These subcommittees include the North Atlantic Council, Political Affairs, Military, Nuclear Planning, Partnerships and Cooperative Security, and Emerging Security Challenges. Alongside other participating schools, students debated and then ultimately wrote NATO policy towards their committee’s issues, requiring complete consensus to pass. Finally, the North Atlantic Council went line by line and approved the written policy as a final communique, which was then sent to the real NATO headquarters in Washington D.C.
