Model United Nations Club CONFERENCE
ACS Campus
The ACS Model United Nations club was established in 2005 following the now 100 year-old tradition of organised, student-lead conference simulations. A steadily growing community, it is currently composed of almost 20 members who share an interest in diplomacy, international relations and public speaking.
The club introduces students to the basic structure and main bodies of the United Nations. During meetings senior members conduct delegate training where new participants are guided through the rules of procedure and jargon of a Model United Nations conference. Preparatory conferences are held for the purposes of learning and improving speaking, debate, negotiation, and resolution-writing skills which members later implement during actual conferences. Students represent different countries and try to find solutions to issues such as “Measures to prevent the proliferation and to lower production capabilities of weapons of mass destruction through an active international political agenda” and “Measures to protect human, economic, social and cultural rights of people who identify as LGBTQ+”
In recent years, the club has participated, both in person and online, in many international and domestic events such as the MIT Model United Nations, the American College of Greece MUN, the Coornhert MUN, and the Deutsche Schule Sofia MUN. Many ACS delegates are thus already decorated with awards for excellent performance. This year club members plan on organising the second edition of the ACS Model United Nations, our school’s very own conference.
