Model United Nations, also known as Model UN, or MUN, is an educational simulation and academic activity in which students can learn about diplomacy, international relations, and the United Nations. MUN involves and teaches participants research, speaking, debating, and writing skills, in addition to critical thinking, teamwork and leadership abilities. Here at Stepaside, we offer Model UN as an extra-curricular activity. It helps to engage students and allow them to develop deeper understanding into current world issues.
On April 16th, the annual conference day was held virtually, where students from Stepaside Educate Together represented China and Mexico. We are incredibly proud of their work and the staff at SETSS who have supported them, Rachel and Xanda.
