ARMUN Model UN, Civic Engagement & UNICEF High School Club
The High School Club builds on the academic skills, 21st Century Skills, and abilities and attitudes that are developed in the Middle School Club (see that page for a basic description, or the What is Model UN? page for some more specific skill lists), continuing to develop and strengthen all of those same attributes but going much more deeply into the areas of perspective taking and creative problem solving, impromptu thinking real-time decision making, and negotiation skills. Also instead of spending as much time on the rules of parliamentary debate, more time is spent understanding the nuances of international relations, governmental policies, and of negotiations and communications strategies. This club emphasizes team building, leadership development, and learning about oneself in the context of the world we live in and the issues that are unfolding each week.
