Here are some examples of position papers in the past (by Spanish students), in order to have an idea the structure that is needed.

The position paper that we will all begin working on soon requires a lot of organization. This outline will help you plan your paper and organize your thoughts.

This is important! This information packet will describe in detail everything we need to know about the International Monetary Fund. It describes its resonsibilities, its functions, and the problems that have surrounded it recently. We will be working closely with this information for the rest of GC!

Here you will find information about the position paper, which will be our end goal for the Global Classrooms program. We will continue to work on this composition throughout the semester.

This is the worksheet that you are responsible for completing for each country. Remember that the first country, Belgium, is due on 22 October! We will then continue to complete this same worksheet for each of our five countries. You can reprint this for the remaining four countries.

Also: the first page of this document is not necessary. You only need the second and third pages, which you received in class.

Bridging the Education Gap and Creating Global Citizens
Model United Nations is an authentic simulation of the UN General Assembly, UN Security Council, or other multilateral body, which introduces students to the world of diplomacy, negotiation, and decision making.

At Model UN, students step into the shoes of ambassadors of countries that are members of the UN, from Argentina to Zimbabwe. The students, better known as "delegates", debate current issues on the organization's vast agenda. They prepare draft resolutions, plot strategy, negotiate with supporters and adversaries, resolve conflicts, and navigate the UN's rules of procedure - all in the interest of resolving problems that affect the world.

Before playing out their ambassadorial roles in Model UN, students research the particular global problem to be addressed. The problems are drawn from today's headlines. Model UN delegates learn how the international community acts on its concerns about peace and security, human rights, the environment, food and hunger, economic development, and globalization.

Model UN delegates also look closely at the needs, aspirations, and foreign policy of the country they will "represent" at the event. The insights they gain from their exploration of history, geography, mathematics, culture, economics, and science contribute to the authenticity of the simulations once the actual role-playing gets underway, and ensures a lively and memorable experience.

Model UN not only involves young people in the study and discussion of global issues, but also encourages the development of skills useful throughout their lives - skills including research techniques, writing, public speaking, problem-solving, conflict resolution, compromise, and cooperation.

The popularity of participating in Model UN has contributed to the rapid growth of this activity over the past several decades. Many Model UN participants are repeaters, since the spirit of these simulations creates an appétit for this activity more commonly known as "M-U-N Fever".

In fact, quite a few of today's leaders in law, government, business, and the arts participated in Model UN during their academic careers - from U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, to Chelsea Clinton and actor Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction).

As many states move to implement standards for global citizenship, Model UN is proving to be an innovative resource to prepare students for career and college success.
