Citizenship, Participation and Action: the United Nations
Looking for an effective way of delivering all the skills the National Curriculum requires for active citizenship? Taking part in a Model United Nations activity will help students develop their skills of inquiry and communication and participation and responsible action by:
- addressing topical issues of international significance,
- expressing views orally and in writing and defending them
- using their imaginations to consider other people's experiences and be able to think about, express, explain and critically evaluate views that are not their own,
- negotiating towards consensus,
- knowing when to assert a point of view and when to be conciliatory,
- reflecting on their own participation and learning.
Working for a MUN activity will ensure students acquire and apply knowledge and understanding, to become informed global citizens through active participation. They will:
- learn about the UK and the UN
- learn about the role of the media and the internet
- learn how to bring about social change
- understand the principles underpinning society
A Model UN can be a collaborative activity between several departments as the content can relate to National Curriculum requirements of English, History, Geography...
