[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bumping an old thread for a basic question, but - what does one /do/ at Model UN? My daughter really enjoys geography and being aware of different cultures - is this a potential good fit?[/quote] My DD MUN all through high school at conferences hosted by colleges all over the East Coast. Coming from a small town it was a great way for her to meet smart, interesting kids from all over the country and really see a much bigger world than the walls of her high school. It’s a competitive activity and the further along you get the more it’s about learning the rules of the game. It’s really not about other countries and cultural awareness though, it’s much more policy focused and requires a fair amount of assertiveness to be successful at the conferences. The best way I can describe it is that she also was very involved in debate and theater, and model UN was a place where she used skills from both of those activities and did very well.[/quote]
