Model U.N. 2018
February 22nd - 25th, 2018Dawson students and two faculty members will participate in the North American Model United Nations (NAMUN), which will be held at the University of Toronto, in Toronto, Ontario.
UTMUN aims to train and prepare both experienced and novice delegates for larger simulations on a university scale.
Taking place in February of each year, the four-day Conference provides students with unique and exciting educational opportunities as they draft resolutions, engage in heated debates and master the art of diplomacy and negotiation.
UTMUN committees integrate dynamic and real-world crises that carry far-reaching international implications. Each crisis update builds on preceding events, compounding conflicts and challenging delegates to adapt to escalating security threats and startling paradigm shifts.
Project Update
From February 22-25, 2018, 19 Dawson students and two faculty members participated in the North American Model United Nations (NAMUN), held at the University of Toronto, in Toronto, Ontario. Students participated in high-level discussion and debate about pressing global issues, such as digital privacy, peacekeeping, the arms trade, the effects of desertification on food security, and engaged in historical simulations of the Columbian civil war and the Algerian war of independence. Students had the opportunity to practice their diplomacy, and hone their research and collaboration skills, while competing with delegates from across North America.
