A student-led diplomatic simulation preparing the next generation of leaders through debate, negotiation, and consensus building.
Who We Are
The Sierra Leone Model Organization of Islamic Cooperation (SLMOIC) is a student-led model and simulation organization. Its conference is inspired by the way the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) brings member states together to deliberate on shared challenges.
Participants take on the role of delegates representing OIC member states. They research national positions, debate in specialized committees, negotiate with other delegations, and work toward draft resolutions.
SLMOIC is an independent educational simulation. It is not the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and is not an official OIC body.
What Drives Us
To give young people a practical, structured experience of multilateral diplomacy that builds knowledge, confidence, and a commitment to cooperative problem-solving.
A generation of informed, articulate, and principled leaders in Sierra Leone and beyond, ready to contribute to dialogue on the issues that shape their communities.
To create a space where students learn by doing — researching real-world issues, representing diverse perspectives, and building consensus through respectful debate.
