A Brief Description

CHOGM on the rock is a forum for youth aged 15-24 where delegates will represent a Commonwealth Country and simulate The Commonwealths decision making forum - a Model Commonwealth head of Governments Meeting (CHOGM). Participants will have the opportunity to make backroom deals, discuss at the table with all other nations, connect with representatives, learn, experience, and grow.

The Commonwealth is a mechanism for change in the world, and youth are not just its future, but it's present. Change the world.

This Years Theme: Climate Change

The world is facing one of its biggest problems yet. With a changing climate, humans need to figure out how to change our ways or face the consequences.

It is a diverse organization that focus’s on equality, promotion of good governance, economic development, justice, democracy and human rights.  Unlike other international organizations, The Commonwealth gives every nation equal say in decision making, basing its decisions off of consensus.

What Is CHOGM?
​

​A Commonwealth Head of Governments Meeting, or CHOGM, is The Commonwealth’s ultimate policy and decision making forum. The President or Prime Minister of every Commonwealth nation meets to discuss current and contentious issues. They seek to resolve problems and better the lives of citizens of The Commonwealth, using consensus to reach their decisions. Past meetings have focused on gender equity and youth, climate change and the environment, and special conventions on issues such as apartheid in South Africa.
