Following our mission, we travel to schools around the area and share with them our knowledge of Model UN. The learning, however, expands beyond that. We strive for our students to learn about debate skills, negotiation, writing and more all under the umbrella of Model UN.
ST. COLUMBKILLEWe have been focusing on explaining and practicing the rules and procedures of Model UN. We created an activity for them where they simulated being superheroes and were debating under the rules of Model UN. This was helpful in introducing them to Parliamentary Procedure by having them debate a familiar topic. Check back later for more updates!

JOYCE KILMERWe implement a three-week structure where we first talk about the history of an issue, then the next week we talk about the current state of the issue, and finally on the third week we have a Model UN debate. The three-week structure has been successful in familiarizing them with a topic or issue so they can be ready to debate it. The last topic we discussed was North Korea.
