A Model United Nations program is an exciting, educational strategy for students of all ages to learn about global issues. A Model UN simulates the activities of a UN body such as the Security Council or the General Assembly. Participants assume the roles of diplomatic representatives to the UN as they consider contemporary international concerns. Through this role-playing event, participants develop a greater understanding of world problems and the complexity of international relations.

A Model UN offers students an opportunity to gain substantive knowledge about the cultures, policies and countries they represent. They can learn the details of important global issues and the mechanisms for peaceful resolution of disputes, at the same time sharpening their interpersonal skills. As diplomats working in an international forum, Model UN participants are motivated to thoroughly research their countries and the issues under discussion. They must practice writing and speaking skills in order to persuade delegates from other attending schools. Perhaps of greatest importance -- the Model UN process encourages students to learn the skills of compromise, negotiation, and consensus building.
