Model UN Practice: WHO Committee

In preparation for our Model UN conference in just over a month, the students participated in a World Health Organization Committee, representing nations ranging from Japan and China to the US and France. 

Gathered together, they worked to address what the nations of the world can do to destigmatize mental health, working to stay within the mandate of the committee and their nations' policies.

Throughout the process, they also practiced following the rules of procedure and using Model UN terminology.

While we have much work to do to prepare for their actual committee, this first run showed that their public speaking and conflict resolution skills will serve them well.

After a long morning of work and a short afternoon session, the presented a draft resolution that was unanimously approved by the committee.
