Delegation Attends Yale Model UN
Members of Westminster’s Model United Nations Club made their annual pilgrimage to Yale Jan. 23-26 to participate in Yale Model United Nations. Model UN is an academic simulation of the United Nations through which delegates debate, collaborate and attempt to solve wide-ranging international issues of immense importance. In so doing, participants develop skills in diplomacy, cooperation and critical thinking that motivate lifelong global citizenship.
The Westminster participants joined 1,700 other high school students and debated a wide range of issues. Committee topics spanned from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and issues of food security to crime and corruption in Latin America.
Students spent more than 17 hours in committee sessions, which made for a tiring but intellectually invigorating weekend. Ably led by officers Ryan Fox ’14, Austin Pope ’15 and Eugenia Naamon ’14, this year’s group included a large number of Third and Fourth Formers. The young Martlets were able to gain valuable experience that will provide a strong basis for the club in the years ahead.
