The topic of the game was the impact of modern technologies on environment, which touches upon such factors as climate change, the advantages and disadvantages of new technologies, green finance, innovation, and the consequences of using all of these.

The EU Mini Model Game is organized annually by the EU Delegation to Kazakhstan. The previous game was held in May 2021 and focused on issues of energy transition and decarbonization.

This educational project, unique in its form and content, aims to enhance students leadership, presentation, public speaking, communication skills.

The EU proposes an agenda that includes issues related to the Green Deal (EU Green Deal) to achieve Europe's climate neutrality by 2050. These important and relevant topics are closely linked to the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
