My students have little/no experience with Model UN and are worried about not being prepared enough to participate. Can they come as observers this year and participate next year?
For a variety of reasons, we do not allow observing students to attend the conference. We are strong advocates of active participation, and will do everything possible to help teachers prepare their students for the conference. The conference staff is specially trained to make Model UN accessible to our young students – rather than intimidating. Our experience shows that even shy or inexperienced students are actively engaged in committee within the first hour.
