Next half-term sees the start of a very exciting new working group for students, with the establishment of our very first ‘Model United Nations. As an organisation the UN is made up of 193 countries who come together regularly to discuss issues and come to joint agreements and resolutions which provide solutions to global challenges on a range of issues from climate change to child poverty.
With separate bodies such as a dedicated Security Council and the International Court of Justice under its umbrella, the United Nations is a highly influential group on the world stage. Using the college’s purpose designed Debating Chamber, students will replicate these meetings by taking up the position of a member state and discussing topics relating to racism, politics, war, gender and many other relevant issues. With such a variety of topics anyone who is interested in philosophy, law, politics, history or international relations will greatly enjoy these discussions.
Outside of these fascinating conversations, Model UN is the perfect place to get real leadership experience and looks great on personal statements. NSFC 'Model' UN will run every Tuesday from 2nd November, during the Y13 lunch break. For more information on the Model UN you should attend the first meeting at 12.45pm on Tuesday 2nd November.
