Model United Nations is an organization for middle school students to learn about global issues.  Participants assume the roles of diplomatic representatives to the U.N. as they consider contemporary international concerns. Through this role-playing event, participants develop greater understanding of world problems and the complexity of international relations.

 

Co-sponsored with the YMCA on the campus of Paisley IB Magnet School, the Middle School Model United Nations begins in the fall meeting twice each month.  Working under the direction of faculty advisors, students form groups of 5-10 and choose a country that interests them. Once countries are chosen, students research, prepare informational displays, write proposals, and create costumes for their chosen country.  Their work concludes at a conference held in Black Mountain, NC at a conference where students present their work to their peers in the Model UN. Meetings are held on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. For more information contact Ms. Balwah, Ms. Dancy or Ms. Snyder.
