The Model UN supports students to become the leaders of tomorrow

According to research by the British Foreign Policy Group, while 73 per cent of 18-25 years olds are interested in Foreign Policy, only 44 per cent feel informed on global affairs. In an age of growing global tension and uncertainty, supporting young people to find their voice in politics and encouraging them to develop the diplomacy and leadership skills to do so is more important than ever. The Model UN (an educational simulation of the UN council) offers the perfect opportunity for students to develop a deeper understanding of geopolitics, and enhance valuable skills such as debating, public speaking, and critical thinking.As recent hosts of CamMUN, in which a record three hundred students participated in a debate on contemporary global issues, students at Stephen Perse Cambridge Sixth Form are championing the Model UN approach to support young people in becoming the global leaders of tomorrow. Their Head of Sixth Form, Stephen Ward, has a wealth of knowledge on the MUN and other extracurricular activities that help students build skills for their careers and can offer parents advice and guidance on how their child can get involved.
