From: March to mid April
Brief Description: Model UN teaches middle school students the importance of global awareness, global citizenship and diplomacy. Each conference is an experiential learning activity for any student with an interest in knowing more about international issues. Each student is assigned to a country and committee of the UN. They assume the role of a delegate representing that nation to solve major issues on the committee's agenda through negotiations with other delegates. Through research, debate, and resolution writing, students learn more about the world while developing a variety of useful skills. The spring session will attend the Maine Middle School UN conference at Bates College in Lewiston to debate with 75 other middle school students from around Maine.
