Model United Nations – A Move Towards Global Citizenship

Every year, High School students from Eastwood College are selected to participate in the Model United Nations (M.U.N.) program. The M.U.N is an international program present in almost every country around the world. The objective  of the program is to simulate actual United Nations sessions whereby students play the roles of Ambassadors to several UN countries.

The program trains High School students about the rules of procedure, position papers, public speaking, role playing, negotiation skills, caucusing, working papers,  and draft resolutions that are followed in the United Nations. The program increases the cognition of students about developmental issues that impact humanity, such as poverty and hunger, proliferation of illiteracy, gender discrimination, child and maternal mortality, major diseases, and environmental resources. The students build skills in conflict resolution, leadership, and diplomacy.

Eastwood College students have won the Secretary General’s Award, the Best Position Paper Award, and the Diplomacy Award over the last five years since the program’s debut in Lebanon.
