Country Draft for Model UN is this Saturday, Oct. 8
Sign up now!
(Last year's Country Draft speaker, Dr. Warren Rosenblum, professor of History and International Relations.)
High School Model UN events are quickly approaching. The first important date to plan for is the Country Draft this Saturday, October 8 from 10:00 am until noon. All High School Model UN events will be in person and held at Browning Auditorium at Webster University. Any student can attend the Country Draft, although just one representative from a school is required to attend. Please let Civitas know ASAP if you and/or a school group plans to participate this year. We need to know which session (A--Nov. 19 in the am; B--Nov. 19 in the pm; C--Dec. 3 in the am) you plan on attending and the approximate number of students who will attend.
 We have another exciting speaker lined up for this year's Country Draft, Moji Sidiqi, who manages the Afghan Support Program for the St. Louis International Institute. She will talk about what our greater community is providing for the Afghan refugees who have arrived to St. Louis in the past year. Moji will share her personal story as well. We will also play a few rounds of trivia (with prizes) before drafting for countries. It's always a fun morning! Sign up now!

Celebrate UN Day at the International Institute
Saturday, October 22, 5:00-8:00 pm
Through the theme, "Nourishing Peace," the United Nations Association of St. Louis, co-sponsored by Civitas, is planning a celebration honoring UN Day, the official creation of the United Nations in October of 1945. The national UN Day theme is "Nourishing Peace," how food security and peace are intertwined on the international scale. Food insecurity in the St. Louis area will also be discussed. The event will begin with several speakers (including St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones) delivering short remarks, followed by a panel of local experts who will discuss many components of food and peace. Dance and music performances are also on the agenda, and special awards will be presented to five individuals in St. Louis who help work towards the goals of the UN. There will be plenty of time to mingle, too, and enjoy good food and beverages. The event will be at the International Institute of St. Louis (IISTL): 3401 Arsenal St., St. Louis, MO 63118. It is free to the public, but please register at the link below. Civitas students can earn up to 3 hours for attending all or part of the celebration.
