Model UN & Debate Youth Camp
Throughout the course of two weeks, secondary students from East Asia will gather to learn from the region’s best Model UN and debate trainers. Launching the camp with an extensive debate workshop, it will be followed by a week of Model UN workshop and conference. A unique aspect of the camp is that we will be introducing a newly formatted Rules of Procedure which best reflects the actual United Nations General Assembly. We will also be inviting special guests from international organizations, governments, NGOs, and academia to speak on topics of global affairs and the UN.
For the camp venue, we will be hosting the event at Kyung Hee University Global Campus. The College of International Studies has established a reputation in Korea over the past years with its strong student-led Model UN Secretariat. Hosting an average of four Model UN conference for all age ranges and other related events, it is the proud host of the Global Classrooms: Seoul conference and many more endorsed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the United Nations Associations of the Republic of Korea.
Role of Trainers
Diversity and experience is what we value from our trainers. We have already received a wide range of applicants from 16 different countries and are expecting more in the coming days. In this respect, the Planning Committee is calling out for experienced Model UN trainers who can bring perspective into the training. Most importantly, we would love to share the fun and excitement we expect in the coming months preparing for the camp.
