Preparing for High School Model UN

Nisha, representing the United Kingdom, addresses the General Assembly at last spring's Model UN session.

(Masks will be optional for upcoming MUN dates.)

We know delegates are busy researching their countries and preparing for their upcoming Model UN sessions. Important additional steps to remember:

The Open House at the World Community Center was a Great Success!

A big thanks to Elliott and Sebastian for stopping by and earning a Game Changers point.

UN Day Celebration this weekend! FREE and open to all!

Middle School Classroom Visits Underway!

Students at Brittany Woods have been coloring flags. This is great placard practice.

Middle School Model UN class visits are currently underway! In the past few weeks we've been to a number of schools including Brittany Woods, John Burroughs, and Wydown Middle. Students are thinking about what country to represent and looking at what issues they might want to solve in their resolutions. There have also been a lot of conversations about Ukraine and what the UN can and cannot do. Middle school students are very opinionated about current events.

In the next few weeks we will be visiting a ton of other schools to help student delegates prepare for spring field trips. If you would like a classroom visit, please contact our middle school coordinator, Bobbi Kennedy at bobbidkennedy@gmail.com.

Picture of the Week

A video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is played Thursday, October 13, over the House select committee that has been investigating last year's deadly attack on the US Capitol. During the committee's public hearing on Thursday, October 13, it aired previously unseen footage from Fort McNair, the DC-area Army base where congressional leaders took refuge during the insurrection and scrambled to respond to the unfolding crisis. -- Alex Wong/Pool/AP
