How Model UN Simulations Work
Model UN simulations follow five key stages that guide students through the process of diplomacy and problem-solving:
- Research: Students dive into their assigned topics, countries, and committees.
- Debate: They make speeches explaining their country’s policy on the topic at hand.
- Negotiate: Students meet in small groups to collaborate and find common ground.
- Resolutions: They write out the problems they want to solve and propose solutions.
- Action: Finally, students vote on the resolutions they’ve crafted.
Through this process, students gain a deep understanding of global challenges, boost their self-confidence, especially in public speaking, and learn to work with people from diverse backgrounds to achieve shared goals. It’s teamwork, leadership, and real-world problem-solving all rolled into one.
