The programme

Choose your arena.

Solo participants may enter up to three solo events. Team tickets combine exactly one solo event with one team event.

solo · Diplomacy · flagship

Oligarch's Conclave

An immersive deliberative simulation: the assembly of 'oligarchs' elects its "Supreme Oligarch" from four secretariat-played candidates in a fictional CCP-in-Bangladesh-like state assembly. Hidden red/green-flag cues are buried in 5-minute speeches; the assembly must identify the candidate that will keep the state and system stable.

solo · Writing

Online Essay Writing Competition

Prompts revolving around International Relations, History, Politics, and Economics & Moral Values are released before the summit; participants submit essays online, judged in collaboration with external teachers.

Interactive and unique A0 posters on PVC focusing on the event theme, displayed at Prangon. The NDIPHC logo is mandatory.

team · Innovation

Peace Summit Project Display

Participants display unique, revolutionary ideas on peace mechanisms and de-escalation of bilateral tensions as physical projects — styrofoam, cardboard, PVC, models.

3-member teams instructed to neutrality receive an agenda on arrival, deliberate, and draft a formal peace proposal resolving the root causes under "maximum welfare for all, maximum prosperity for humanity".

solo · Quiz

Screenricks

A pop-culture trivia showdown across three curated categories — Movies, TV Shows and Anime — from iconic titles, plot details, character arcs and cultural moments. The official syllabus list is circulated before the event.

team · Debate

Popcorn Plato

A formal debate on deliberately playful rival pairs (e.g. El Clásico: Real Madrid vs Barcelona, Marvel vs DC). Round 1: an entertainment-history mixed quiz decided by speed and accuracy. Round 2: top teams merge into 4-person squads for a live judged debate, in Diogenes-worthy rhetoric.

solo · Law · flagship

Moot Court

Argue the Applicant or Respondent side of a fictional international dispute — a maritime border conflict, a refugee-rights case or a war-crimes tribunal scenario — before a bench of judges. Each participant submits a light position brief and delivers oral arguments followed by cross-examination.

The Lensed Tales
