Model United Nations
Each fall, the YMCA of Middle Tennessee sponsors a Model United Nations
conference. At the conference, Tennessee high school students learn about
the real world operation of the United Nations by participating in a reenactment
of the organization's activities.
Most students form delegations and represent member countries' interests in the General Assembly by drafting and debating resolutions. These resolutions cover a wide variety of topics of international concern. Other students have the opportunity to represent their countries on the Security Council, and to participate in a model International Court of Justice.
