Creating True International Exposure

Our 7 co-founders represent every region of the world. 

Our Structure

ISYPO stands out from the crowd as a distinctive organisation that redefines the traditional youth politics experience. Our structure is founded upon seven unique focus groups, each devoted to exploring different dimensions of politics and diplomacy. The groups focus on various niches like Outer Space Law, the study of Belief, Doctrines and Ethics, and even a group focused on the efficiency of Democracy and Global Political Systems. The broad horizon is These groups offer you more than just participation in typical Model UN debates; they immerse you in thought-provoking discussions and intense political simulations designed to challenge your perspectives, cultivate critical thinking, and prepare you for the challenges of the true political landscape. 

What truly sets ISYPO apart is our unwavering commitment to original research. With the guidance of seasoned university professors and the valuable insights of our six UN-affiliated founders, you'll have the opportunity to embark on an intellectual journey, crafting groundbreaking research papers that address political phenomena and events that often remain unexamined. These research papers serve as a platform for fostering fresh ideas and insights while providing opportunities for publication, ensuring your work reaches a broader audience. Moreover, your dedication to these papers can even earn you valuable college credit, making your involvement with ISYPO not only personally fulfilling but also academically rewarding. Our quest is to rewrite the narratives of global politics one well-researched paper at a time and contribute to a more profound understanding of the world's most pressing issues.
