Model UN
The Montessori Model United Nations program culminates classroom study with a two day global education simulation experience at the United Nations that enables students to learn about the operations of the United Nations and its role as the world’s largest international peacekeeping and humanitarian organization. The Model United Nations Programs provides students an opportunity to:
• Learn about cultures, governments and peoples of nations throughout the world.
• Use research skills, writing skills and written & oral communications skills.
• Develop critical thinking skills, problem solving skills and evaluative skills.
• Debate current global issues and world problems.
• Practice and use leadership skills in a real life global situation.
• Understand the need for peace and conflict resolution throughout the world while
developing their own conflict resolution and debating skills.
Through the process of role-playing, each student becomes a delegate of a selected nation. They write, present and debate issues affecting their nation and peoples of the world. By assuming the character of a citizen of their selected country they fully develop an understanding of the needs of a people and the importance of accepting differences.
