CONFERENCES
Southwest Model UN is attending three conferences during the 2013-2014 school year.
November Global Classrooms Conference at Macalester College
Our first conference was at Macalester College in St. Paul, taking place on Thursday, November 14. View the United Nations Association of Minnesota's website for more information.
This conference was the kickoff to the season. It was a less-competitive conference and provided a great opportunity to new and experienced delegates alike to hone their skills at debate and compromise. The committees and topics were as follows:
General Assembly: Sustainable Development and Environmental Health
World Health Organization: HIV/AIDS, Malaria, and other Communicable Diseases
The background guides are available: General Assembly and WHO.
