Congratulations to Rafa A. (Yr 8) for attending the Montessori Model United Nations conference in New York City. The delegates had their final session at the United Nations Headquarters General Assembly Hall. The solutions that have been proposed on current critical global issues will be presented as part of the consultative report to the actual UN General Assembly. What an incredible opportunity - well done, Rafa!

Montessori Model United Nations (MMUN) is a conference that annually brings together nine to fifteen year olds from all over the world to come up with solutions to critical global issues using the format of the General Assembly of the United Nations. MMUN is a division of Youth For a Better World, recognised as an NGO in Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations. Every child of 9-15 years is qualified to participate. Their proposed solutions are all heard. The children find that they have a voice and that their opinions are considered.
