What Is AATS and Why Should I Care?

AATS means “Africa Alliance Teen Scholarship” and stands for an educational and academic simulation of diplomatic decision making. During an “AATS conference”, students aged 14-30 learn about diplomacy, international relations, the United Nations, African Union, United Africa and other international organizations. AATS teaches its participants, called “Delegates”, researching, public speaking, debating, and writing skills, teamwork, and cultural empathy.
