=Model UN 2010 - 2011=

Model United Nations is a role play simulation of the actual workings of the United Nations. Different organizations host conferences. Edgewood has attended Miami University's conference for the past 3 years. This year I would like to attend Ohio's largest Model UN conference in Columbus. Prior to the conferences, students will be assigned their nations and research their nation's positions on major world issues. At the conference, students will participate in committee and general assembly sessions as they attempt to pass resolutions in line with their nation's policy.

Ohio Model UN, Columbus Ohio
Dec. 12th - 14th (Sun - Tues) Ohio Model UN is huge. The conference fee is $185 per person. This includes 2 nights lodging and most meals.

Important Info for Parents about Ohio Model UN
Hundreds of students from around the state participate at Ohio Model UN. Edgewood will have at least 2 chaperones, a male and female. If many students commit, we will cover expenses for parents to chaperone. The conference keeps the students very busy. Students will be chaperoned at all times. Students will stay 4 to a room with a chaperone. A $75 deposit is due Nov. 1st. The balance is due prior to the conference in December. Students will need very little spending money since most meals are provided and there will be virtually no time outside of the conference. Chaperones will drive the students to Columbus. We will stop on the way there for dinner on Sunday and on the way back for lunch on Tuesday. Students will need spending money for these meals. Students will return to EHS Tuesday by 2:00. Please call me at 988-5750 or email wendelm@edgewood,k12.oh.us with any questions. Matt Wendeln

Miami University Model UN
March 2011 Miami's conference is held over a weekend in March. Sessions run Friday evening, all day Saturday, and Sunday morning. Students arrange their own transportation. The conference fee is $15 per person. We walk into Oxford for meals.

Two important responses needed:
//Click the "DISCUSS" tab at the top of this page to respond. You may need to create an account at the top right of this page.// 1. Do you have serious interest in attending the Columbus Model UN? Share the info above with your parents.

2. Can you attend semi-regular sessions after school to prepare? The more prepared you are, the better your experience will be. In order to prepare for the Columbus conference, we would meet once a week after school. The alternative would be to meet once per week during your homeroom time, however, this is less time and more difficult for me to arrange.

Things to consider as you make plans to participate:
1. MUMUNC homepage - The schedule is on the Delegate Resources page. It's best to be at everything, but some people have missed a session in the past. 2. We will commute back and forth, so you need a ride. Let me know if you need a carpool. 3. Line up a partner if you want. If you're a talker by nature, you might just want to work alone. I have listed everyone who signed up below, so find someone on the list or convince someone else to attend. 4. Choose a committee. I can't guarantee your 1st choice, but it's likely. //A. Disarmament and International Security Council// //B. World Health Organization// //C. African Union// //D. Crisis: NATO vs. Warsaw Pact// 5. Fill out the form at right and and give it to Mr. Peterson with your money. 

Getting Ready for the Conference:
MUMUNC homepage - There are some general info materials under Delegate Resources. The Committees page will have the background guides when they're ready. I will book a meeting during your homeroom the week before the event so I can meet you and help you get ready. The dance is cool, so plan to attend. Bring cash for going out to eat. We'll eat out Friday evening and twice Saturday, lunch and dinner. The conference is in McGuffey Hall. Park along Spring St. and enter on that side of building. Here's a map of Miami's campus.
