Program / Event Details

Students will be challenged to create and represent a fictional nation within a simulated United Nations General Assembly. This simulation will be structured like a three-act story. First, students will focus on developing their nation at the beginning, working independently or in a small group. Then, they will collectively address a climate challenge affecting each nation in the simulated world. Finally, students will work in a role to devise a resolution that addresses the issue and meets the needs of the diverse national interests involved. This program allows students to understand the interplay between culture, values, and community dynamics. Students explore how traditions, beliefs, and customs influence culture and values and how culture impacts language and behavior, as personal and collective values guide the way we communicate and act in the roles we play.
