MUN History:
|
|
|
For over 50 years now, teachers and students
have benefited from and enjoyed this interactive learning experience
that not only involves young people in the study and discussion
of global issues but also encourages the development of skills
useful throughout their lives: |
The popularity of Model UNing has contributed to the rapid
growth of this activity over several decades, and today upwards
of 200,000
high school and college/university students participate
in MUN each year. Some are classroom exercises, others school-wide,
and still others regional, national, or international.
In fact, quite a few of today's leaders in law, government,
business, and the arts participated in Model UN during their
academic career-from U.S.
Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer and World Court Justice
Stephen M. Schwebel to actor Samuel L. Jackson and yes, Chelsea
Clinton is a Model UN veteran as well.
