Model united nations

Our school is proud to be one of the earliest pioneers of high school MUN programs in Latin America and the Caribbean. It is among the oldest and well-developed of such programs in the region and is arguably the leading English-speaking MUN program in Venezuela. CIC offers its students a year-round program with opportunities each year to participate in delegate or officer leadership roles at the local, regional and international MUNs which either we host (JMUN and SAMUN) or of which we are long-standing partners (THIMUN at The Hague in Holland). In recognition of CIC’s long-standing commitment to the MUN concept and programs, The THIMUN Organization has formally designated CIC’s SAMUN conference as one of its regional official affiliates.

 

Junior Model United Nations (JMUN)

 Colegio Internacional de Caracas (CIC) just completed hosting its annual Junior Model United Nations (JMUN) Conference—a truly extraordinary educational event. The Conference took place this past Saturday March 29th and Sunday March 30th, 2008. CIC has now hosted JMUN for sixteen consecutive years. This is an event for students in grades six through eight. JMUN appears in a similar format to that of SAMUN but JMUN has an altogether different feel. It is a high energy, friendly debating forum for younger students new to the MUN organization. JMUN is a regional event and host to many of the top educational institutes in Venezuela. The Conference was organized and led by JMUN’s Secretary-General, Deborah Van Roy and her executive officer team. You may access our MUN portal on CIC’s home page on the Internet to see details of this year’s conference, including our JMUNDO newspaper, photo gallery and conference resources.

** Next conference date & venue: This coming year’s JMUN conference will be held here at CIC in Spring 2009. Firm dates will be posted shortly for the next upcoming JMUN conference.
