Nine Sec. 1 & 2 students from The Armenian Evangelical Sec. School – Shamlian-Tatikian, participated in a program called Model U.N. – Global Classroom whose vision & mission are:
The Vision:
To introduce a Unique UN culture of diplomacy to the youth across Lebanon and the region; to inspire dialog, tolerance, empathy, leadership, global awareness, and peaceful means towards conflict resolution.
Our Mission:
To guarantee high School Students in Lebanon and the Middle-East an equal chance to participate in the program, to learn the Model United Nations Culture, regulations and procedures, and to build strong bridges of communications, as well as collaboration and leadership skills, all while being commensurate with the LAU's mission of educating the whole person.
The program, which was held in The Lebanese American University (LAU), started on Jan. 12 with an Introduction and six sessions followed with the following topics:
January 19th - Rules of Procedure/Research & Interpretation February 16th - Research & Interpretation/Position Paper
February 23rd - Public Speaking & Role PlayingMarch 1st - Negotiation SkillsMarch 8th - Caucusing/Working Papers & Draft Resolutions
April 5th - UN Day & Mock Simulation
During the conference different countries were allocated to the participating schools. Our school represented Russia. Each student chose a topic (Like Russia & the IAEA, UNDP, UNEP, etc.) wrote a position paper and presented it during the last two days (On May 3 & 4, 2008 ) in their groups.
On Sat. May 3, 2008, our students presented Russia in the Global Village –an open air 3 hour event where all schools present the history, culture, facts & figures, food, etc. of the country allocated to them.
This was a unique opportunity for our students to enlarge their perspective & knowledge.
