Ohio Model United Nations is a
three-day global education simulation experience that allows students in grades
6-12 to learn about the complete operations of the United Nations and its role
as the world’s largest international peacekeeping and humanitarian
organization.
Through the process of role-playing, students
become delegates of a selected nation in order to write, present and debate
issues affecting the nations and peoples of the world.
Additionally, students present culturally based talent, participate in global
education contests and debate current issues from the agenda of the United
Nations.
Ohio Model United Nations provides students an opportunity to:
- Learn about
cultures, governments and peoples of nations throughout the world.
- Use research
skills, writing skills and written & oral communications skills.
- Develop critical
thinking skills, problem solving skills and evaluative skills.
- Debate current
global issues and world problems.
- Practice and use
leadership skills in a real life global simulation.
- Understand the
need for peace and conflict resolution throughout the world.
