Model United Nations for Today's Urban Schools

Global Classrooms is a focused program for inner-city schools that combines the experience of Model United Nations simulations with a curriculum that can be integrated into a high-school or middle-school social studies classroom. The goal is to integrate an understanding of global issues while also developing academic and workplace skills in leadership, research, writing, problem solving, public speaking, and negotiation skills.
