Model U.N.
involves simulations of UN bodies such as the
Security Council and the General Assembly. Students
at middle school, high school and college levels
research global issues and play the role of
delegates from different countries. Participants in
Model U.N. simulations–called Conferences–learn to
understand and respect cultural differences, to
think critically, and to resolve conflicts
peacefully. If you would like to start such a club
or organization, please contact
Tuck Green,
the chairman of the chapter’s Education Outreach
Committee.
Listed below are
the clubs and organizations currently participating
in Model UN activities located in the West Triangle,
North Carolina area served by our Chapter of the
United Nations Association. The members of these
clubs and organizations may also be able to help you
get started and become involved in Model UN
Conferences.
