Having in mind that student conferences and all events of its type in the country proved to be very successful and interesting for students, the Ministry of Defence of the Republic and the Military Academy "General Mihailo Apostolski" - Skopje, in co-organization with the higher education institutions in the countryand Euro-Atlantic Council of Macedonia, on December 20, 2012 at the Army Hall in Skopje will organize a student conference on the topic:

"NATO and Afghanistan: ISAF Mission and beyond"

The conference itself will represent a youth summit where the students will simulate a meeting of NATO defense ministers and the ministers of defence from A5 countries on the issue of Afghanistan. The event is highly educational because it allows students closer and deeper to learn about the issues of NATO, security and international politics, this time with special attention to the ISAF mission.

For this purpose, on 12/07/2012 (Friday) the Youth Euro-Atlantic Council of Macedonia held a info briefing for the participants of this year's student simulation in the Army Home of Republic of Macedonia.

During the briefing the President of the Youth Euro-Atlantic Council of Macedonia, Mr Ilija Djugumanov had addressed the participants and explain the principle of operation of the simulation, the experiences of the previous two simulations, and the importance to participate in events of this great educational character.

As an organizer EACM prepared guiding materials for all students and a booklet on NATO which contained relevant information. The students were given countries at random choice which led to strengthening the peer to peer cooperation as students from different backgrounds got to work together.

At the end participants were wished for successful preparation for the upcoming event.
