In-Person Summer Institute in Global Leadership: Climate Change
The United Nations Association of Greater Boston’s Summer Institute in Global Leadership is a week-long Model UN program for students from all over the world to work together and address global issues.
Throughout the week, students will:
– Learn about the topic at hand
– Participate in public speaking and negotiation activities
– Meet expert guest speakers
– Engage in team-building activities
– Step into the role of a diplomat during Model UN simulations
What is Model UN?
In Model UN, participants learn about a global issue and are assigned to a specific country. In a simulation that mirrors a UN committee session, students (or delegates, as we refer to them!) give speeches, engage in formal debate, collaborate and negotiate ideas, draft solutions (referred to in Model UN as “resolutions”), and vote. Using parliamentary procedure to structure debate (just like the real UN!), students have the opportunity to build skills for life and leadership while learning about a complex global issue.
Who participates?
This program is open to students in grades 7-10 of all Model UN levels. Students join us from all over the world!
When is the program?
Monday, July 12 – July 16 from 9:00am – 3:00pm Eastern Standard Time. Please note, this program is in Eastern Standard Time
What is the cost of the program?
