About

Hey everyone! We are really excited to welcome you all to the inaugural Schoolhouse Model United Nations! 

WHAT IS AN MUN AND WHY SHOULD YOU PARTICIPATE? 

For those who may not be familiar with MUN, it stands for Model United Nations. It is an educational simulation of the United Nations where students assume the roles of diplomats and discuss current global issues. It is a great opportunity for students to learn about international relations, public speaking, negotiation skills, and problem-solving. It also helps students understand the importance of diplomacy in resolving conflicts and promotes global citizenship.

ABOUT THE EVENT: 

The event will consist of opening and closing ceremonies, with training sessions for all delegates. There are five committees, whose names and agendas are as follows:

United Nations General Assembly: Discussing causes and solutions to animal extinction
United Nations Environment Programme: Enhancing climate resilience for sustainable development in the post-pandemic world
United Nations Women: Economic and political empowerment of women
United Nations Development Programme: Accelerating the creation of inclusive and sustainable industrial development
Food and Agricultural Organisation: Discussing the impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on availability of food in the country
The event will last for a total of two days, with 2 hour long committee sessions taking place everyday twice, one in the US morning and one in the US evening. Each delegate will receive a participation certificate, and winners will receive certificates of excellence. The best delegates and those receiving high commendation will also receive schoolhouse merchandise.

Hey everyone! I am Hafsah, an incoming high school junior from India, studying advanced courses well ahead of my age. I'm really passionate about anything related to maths, CS and science. In my free time, I love to read, ski, research on random topics that catch my interest, do some cooking and learn new languages. I'm also a huge speech and debate enthusiast - I started participating in 4th grade and have never stopped since! I've taken the Digital SAT, with a superscore of 1530 (750 R&W, 780 Math). I'd be happy to help out with anything related to Math (from Pre-Algebra to Calculus), Science, Computer Science or SAT Prep. Excited to be a tutor here at schoolhouse, and I look forward to seeing you in my sessions!
