Play the Role of a Diplomat
The Model United Nations program prepares students to take on the role of diplomats
from a foreign country in a simulation of UN committee meetings. Students become experts
on particular global issues and then meet with other "diplomats" representing countries
around the world to write resolutions. These resolutions address a variety of global
problems (ex: maintaining international peace and security, protecting human rights,
promoting development, protecting the environment).
Students hone their skills in research, writing, public speaking, and negotiation
by participating in this exciting endeavor.
