Creekview was present at this year’s Georgia Tech Model United Nations Conference (GTMUN) for the third year in a row. Representing the countries of France and Egypt, our student ambassadors to the UN made speeches, prepared draft resolutions, negotiated bills through debate caucuses, and attempted to solve worldly issues such as international terrorism, rights of children, nuclear arms disarmament, world healthcare issues, and much more.
Today’s world never ceases to produce problems such as war, famine, and people’s rights. As citizens of the world, it is our duty to resolve these issues and cooperate to empower and provide for nations to create world peace. The United Nations has accomplished goals for economic development, social progression, and human rights of countries around the world. This peace-keeping organization has benefited the world nation.
To bring the United Nations to high school students, the Model United Nations is a simulation of the bodies of the UN. Students assume the role of a diplomat and take on the global perspective of world events. Creekview’s strong Model United Nations team presented their delegations by closely researching their designated country’s impact to the issue addressed before them and thinking of possible solutions to improve conditions around the world.
As advisor since the team’s conception, Mr. Hunsucker was pleased with the conference and observed, “The experience members increased their knowledge of the process. Meanwhile, the new members learned how to interact with the other delegates through debates. The conferences are great to network with new friends.”
Creekview’s Model United Nations Team is comprised of students from all grade levels. Their upcoming conferences for the year include the University of Georgia and Kennesaw State University. Anyone is welcome to join. Model UN strives to provide students with an opportunity to put into action the principles of international politics that they are taught in the classroom and see occur in the world everyday. For more information, please see Mr. Hunsucker.
