Log College’s Jr. Model UN Club attended their first preparatory conference on March 5th, at Temple University. The goal of Jr. Model UN is to work collaboratively to propose recommendations on solving two of the major world issues from the viewpoint of their assigned nation. Student delegates received badges that included their names, countries (Bangladesh or El Salvador), topics (Access to Clean Water or Reducing Income Inequality), and committee (#1 or #2).
Upon arrival, students were split into small conference rooms based on their badges. Once in the conference rooms, delegates introduced themselves to delegates from other schools, learned conference etiquette, and group norms.
As the morning rolled on, delegates identified the parts of a resolution paper and reviewed sustainable development goals. In addition, delegates practiced creating resolutions using their research and provided Jr. UN Vocabulary.
Delegates will meet a few times to write, revise, and edit their resolutions that they will present at their final conference in May at Temple University.
