{{Short description|Educational simulation program}} {{Use mdy dates|date=November 2024}} thumb|Students at an award ceremony following a Model G20 summit A '''Model G20''', also known as a '''Model G20 Summit''', is an educational simulation for high school and college students. Students role play as government ministers from one of the G20 countries or their guests and negotiate solutions to defined problems. During a G20 summit, students learn about diplomacy, international relations, the G20, and other issues related to a theme of the summit. Some individual schools have Model G20 clubs for students interested in these topics.
It is similar to a Model United Nations. At the end of summits, individual delegates and entire delegations are often given awards for their performance.

As the leaders of tomorrow, the participants engage in high-level discussions, negotiations, and problem-solving exercises that mirror the actual G20 summit.
