Schoolhouse Model United Nations 2024
- Ended Sun, Jan 14, 2024
Hey everyone! We are really excited to welcome you all to the second edition of the 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, which is a simulation of the United Nations, with delegates taking on the role of a country’s representative to discuss and find solutions to pressing global issues. MUNs are a great opportunity to develop your public speaking, negotiation and problem-solving skills. And we’re excited to host the second edition of Schoolhouse MUN to give y’all these opportunities on the Schoolhouse.world platform!
About the Event:
The event will consist of opening and closing ceremonies, with training sessions for all delegates. There are six committees, with the details for each as follows:
United Nations Development Programme: Accelerating the creation of inclusive and sustainable industrial development
United Nations General Assembly: Discussing causes and solutions to animal extinction
United Nations Environment Programme: Analysing the progress of the Paris Climate Agreement
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation: Discussing the viability of a Common Universal Education System
United Nations Women: Economic and political empowerment of women
Food and Agricultural Organisation: Assessing the causes and consequences of unequal food distribution across landmasses and regions
The event will take place from 13th to 14th January, 2024 (Eastern Hemisphere time), with 3 committee sessions taking place everyday, each for one hour. Each delegate who attends at least half of the committee sessions will receive a participation certificate, and winners will receive certificates of excellence.
