We are inviting students in Years 9-13 from OX14 LP schools to take part in a Model United Nations conference

What is Model United Nations?

Model United Nations is a fun and engaging activity in which current world issues are debated upon by students, who each represent a country. Students write resolutions, an attempt to solve a real-world problem facing the International Community, from their own country’s perspective, which are then debated, amended, and voted on. It is a great way to learn about current affairs in a fun and respectful way, as well as debate key issues from different perspectives.
