The wokshops were entitled "The Coming Generation: How Young Political Leaders can Influence their Country's Future". Dr Yates had training sessions in the capital city, Nouakchott, and in the Southern provincial towns of Kaedi, Kiffa and Aleg.

As citizens of the world community, AGSers share a deep will to improve international state of affairs. This drive for change translates into prescriptive discussion between students and teachers, not simply criticism. I most admire this quality about AGS and know that because we have the will to improve the system, we are the way for change.
