Middle school students got the spotlight for a second week in a row. We featured the Global Classrooms Middle School conference last weekend, and this weekend we featured the Montessori MUN conference where middle school and elementary school students discussed about international issues!
New York continues to hold the spotlight this weekend with over 5,000 students attending two NMUN conferences. Best Delegate will be liveblogging at NMUN! There is plenty of action in Chicago and around the world too including ChoMUN, the final college conference for this season in North America.
