Welcome to the world of Model United Nations (MUN)!
Welcome, or welcome back, to the world of Model United Nations (MUN), where we are helping students become global citizens without leaving home! (New to Model UN? Check out this recent local media piece on our program.)
We are currently planning for camp to be offered in-person this year, on our campus.
During this five day training conference, students who are new to the world of Model United Nations will get to learn and train alongside other novice and advanced delegates, in a simulation of the Special Political and Decolonization Committee (SPECPOL), with a focus on Africa.
Students will:
- Hone their research skills as they explore the position of their assigned country
- Compose a position paper
- Write and present an opening speech
- Debate the issues
- Work cooperatively to draft and pass resolutions
Advanced Delegates will also learn how to chair committee sessions and will learn more about how high school MUN conferences differ from those at the middle school level. Experienced delegates will also learn more about chairing committee sessions and about how to make the leap from middle school to high school conferences.
This camp is for current or rising Community School middle school students, and rising 6th-10th grade students who attend other schools.
Cost is $200 for students currently enrolled in Community School; $225 for all others. Scholarships are available; please indicate this in the form below. Students will be provided with a research binder and ComMUN swag. We will utilize Google Classroom, so each student will need a Gmail address to use, and should plan to bring a device to camp each day.
