This program is a simulation of the "real-life" United Nations that gives middle school students an opportunity to learn about current affairs, politics, economics and diplomacy through weekly meetings. Delegates give speeches, debate international issues, participate in committees and make new friends.
Through hands-on participation in a variety of roles, students learn to understand and appreciate the world around them. In the process, they learn self-confidence, problem-solving, collaboration, public speaking, logic and the art of argument - all while building a lifelong sense of value.
