Junior Model United Nations (JMUN)

Colegio Internacional de Caracas (CIC) hosts an extraordinary annual educational event and we invite you and your middle school students to participate in our Junior Model United Nations Conference (JMUN).

This event is open to middle year students, grades six through eight. Your students will act as delegates from a number of nations on a diverse range of topics. The delegates will develop important research, communication, and interpersonal skills as they interact with other students to resolve the issues facing their specific committee.

Recognizing this event is often the initial MUN experience for students, we will work hard at providing as much support in advance, and during, the conference. Our chairpersons are trained with the intent of promoting their instructional role in the JMUN experience. The committee chairpersons will be selected from CIC, and other institutions, high school student body.

With the interest of maximizing the learning opportunity of the JMUN experience we have made some changes to the committee composition for JMUN 2009. We have expanded the number of committees to eight with the interest in reducing the number of participants per committee. This reduction in number of committee participants will allow for greater delegate participation. With expanding the number of committees we have also been able to expand the diversity of topics to allow for more curricular links in the classroom.
