Workshop: Model UN Mini-Simulation Workshop

3rd March to 5th March
In these session you will explore firsthand how international decisions are made, while fostering critical thinking and negotiation skills as well as global awareness and practical skills.
This activity is offered as part of Go Global - an exciting set of activities, allowing students to engage in an international experience. Are you having problems signing up to this event? Email GGW6@mmu.ac.uk and we will try to fix the issue for you.

The United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) is the world’s highest-level decision-making body on environmental issues. It brings together all 193 UN Member States to discuss urgent global environmental challenges and set the international agenda for sustainable development and environmental governance. This body will be the basis for the mini simulation, showcasing how countries build consensus to solve complex global problems.

Model United Nations (Model UN) is an educational simulation where students act as diplomats representing UN Member States. Participants research a global issue, adopt their assigned country’s perspective, engage in debate and negotiate with other delegates to create an outcome document that outlines the actions that Member States will take to address that particular global issue, mirroring the work of real UN diplomats.

This workshop will take place in two parts, the first will be an online introduction to the simulation and then the simulation itself will run in person.
