On the occasion of United Nations Day, 24 October 2025, and in the year marking the 80th anniversary of the UN Charter, the Department of Global Communications is launching a new Model UN mini-simulation toolkit jointly developed with the World Federation of United Nations Associations (WFUNA).
This toolkit has been created to make Model UN more accessible, inclusive and adaptable for high schools, colleges and Model UN clubs and organizations worldwide. It provides teachers, organizers and students with a practical and engaging introduction to diplomacy and the work of the United Nations, focusing on the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) and the urgent challenge of marine plastics and litter.
The resource is designed for classroom use, offering a four-session simulation package complete with teacher guidance, student worksheets and background materials. It builds on the existing suite of Model UN resources—which includes the Getting Started Guide and the Model UN Resources—while reflecting the General Assembly’s 2023 recognition of the importance of Model UN in fostering youth engagement with multilateralism, diplomacy and global cooperation.
