SUMMARY:Model UN | 2020 Conference
DESCRIPTION:While this year may look at little different\, the World Affairs Council of Connecticut continues to bring students across the state the same high quality topics and debate – now in a virtual format for the 2020 CTWAC Model UN! \nUnited Nations Tours and Briefings: Each student will be able to participate in a virtual UN tour and briefing set up by CTWAC. \nPosition Papers and Resolutions: Students will submit position papers that will be posted as blogs on the CTWAC website. This is to allow delegates to interact with each other prior to debate. Resolutions are optional and the top resolutions will be sent to all participants in the committee (via google docs) to be reviewed prior to debate. \nTopics: \nDisarmament and International Security | Security During a Pandemic\nEconomic and Financial | Building Economic Equity in Post-crisis Scenarios\nSocial\, Humanitarian\, and Cultural | Modern Slavery\nWorld Health Organization | Vaccine distribution and access\nFood and Agricultural Organization | Sustainable Food and Agriculture\nHistorical Crisis Committee | Battle of Thermopylae\nSecurity Council \nParticipation: Due to size limitations in the virtual format\, we will allow teams of students only up to 2. Students can participate through their school club\, but if your school does not have a club this year\, students may participate individually or on teams of up to 2 individual students per committee. You will indicate this when registering. \nRegistration: Contact Nicole Struth\, Education Director\, at nstruth@ctwac.org \n
