Global Classrooms & Model United Nations

 
Global Classrooms - Learn. Live. Lead.

 

Global Classrooms uses the empowering experience of Model United Nations to bring international education into classrooms across the US and abroad.

The innovative Global Classrooms curriculum cultivates global literacy and leadership as students explore important topics such as peacekeeping, sustainable development and human rights.


Model UN Conferences

In Model UN, students step into the shoes of ambassadors from UN member states to debate current issues on the organization's vast agenda. Student "delegates" in Model UN prepare draft resolutions, plot strategy, negotiate with supporters and adversaries, resolve conflicts, and navigate the UN's rules of procedure-all in the interest of mobilizing "international cooperation" to resolve problems that affect countries all over the world.

Global Classrooms Boston Model UN Conference will be held this year on March 7, 2008 at Northeastern University. Please visit the conference web site for more information and to register. For a complete listing of local Model UN conferences, visit our on-line Model UN calendar. More information and resources for Model UN are available at UNA-USA's Model UN Page.
