A look at the first Model Peace Summit held at King’s College India
King’s College India hosted its first Model Peace Summit, bringing together 141 students to engage in negotiations and conflict resolution simulations. The event aimed to move beyond traditional academic panels to foster active peace-building skills among youth.
Why it matters
Student-led simulations like the Model Peace Summit are increasingly viewed as essential tools for developing diplomatic and critical thinking skills in the next generation.
Ask a room of adults how to build peace, and you will usually get a speech. Ask a room of students, and you will get a negotiation. That, in essence, is what happened at the first Model Peace Summit, held this year at King’s College India from September 23 to September 26, 2026.
