20th Model United Nations
Description: During our five-week Model United Nations program, students in 6th-8th grade will come together with peers from across California to discuss international issues, discover other cultures, develop life-enhancing skills, and make new friends. These students will become “delegates” and will be assigned to one of four program areas, each focusing on improving the international community. Sixth graders will serve as members of the United Nations Security Council where they’ll be tasked with maintaining world peace. Seventh grade delegates will be joining the Forum on Non Governmental Organizations where they’ll be tasked with creating innovative nonprofits that will address some of the world’s most pressing problems. Eighth grade delegates will participate in either the General Assembly of the Economic and Social Council where they will take on the role of an assigned country, create their own resolution and debate with their peers.
MUN Camp
Description: MUN Camp will NOT be like summer school! Activities and assignments will all happen during our time together, no homework. Students will assume the role of ambassador in our simulation to a designated country and work with their team to solve an international crisis. Games will be played daily but we will also accomplish our work through learning about the world around us and how to be more diplomatic in our arguments.
Requirements: none
