The Model United Nations is a simulation of the United Nations system. Students assume the roles of ambassadors to the United Nations and debate current global issues. Participants seek ways, through diplomacy and negotiation, in which the world community can deal with complex global concerns such as the environment, economic development, refugees, AIDS, conflict resolution, disarmament and human rights. Young people from diverse backgrounds participate in these educational exercises to experience first-hand decision-making processes and diplomatic work at the United Nations. You can create your own Model UN or participate in an existing one. The book and video, "Introduction to the Model United Nations", explains how to set up and organize a Model UN. Climb aboard the United Nations CyberSchoolBus and visit the Model United Nations Discussion Area (MUNDA). This global service for all Model UN-ers is a place where you can exchange ideas, discuss topics and ask for (and receive) information. MUNDA will keep you in touch with other participants and other organizers all over the world. | |||||||
