2008 Junior Model UN

In this capstone activity, students discuss the issues, debate their positions, and vote on proposals to alleviate the problems of the conference's topics. Through this process, students synthesize and apply months of study about cultures, the United Nations, and global issues in one exciting day. Students will surprise themselves (and delight their teachers) by finding the courage to make a speech in support of their country's position, by lobbying for their position in caucases, and by having their resolutions or amendments read to the committee. Program components:

Open Plenary Session
Committee discussion, debate, and voting on proposals
Review, Evaluation and Closing Session

Materials and activities provided by the Council will guide the students through homework assignments and independent research. Program materials will be provided by the council.
