Grade 7 puts on their first Model United Nations. This past week grade 7 students held the first ISB Middle School Model United Nations conference, for which students had prepared for extensively. This conference was entirely student run and acted as a capstone to their Food Sustainability unit. Each United Nations committee prepared a solution to a pressing issue regarding food security. The students then voted both as humanitarians and as representatives of their countries on whether or not to pass these resolutions. Issues of country sovereignty, economic cost and environmental damage were paramount to the decision making process. The teachers were all impressed with how professional and passionate the students were while debating these important issues. Check out photos of the event HERE.
