14 Niskayuna High School students recently traveled alongside Guilderland High School students to take part in the University of Toronto Model United Nations 2025 Conference. The group was led by club president Diane Son and club advisors Lainie Christou and Jennifer Karp.
The Model United Nations Club aims to expand global understanding, build leadership and critical thinking skills while motivating students to explore new things.
Conference participants simulated the United Nations General Assembly and other United Nation bodies. The activity helped students learn more about the principles of the United Nations and how it functions.
They acted as delegates for countries, organizations, and people and were tasked with solving problems in the following committees:
-
- UN Strategic A.I. Management Oversight and Support Agency (UN SAMOSA)
- Invisible Wars: NATO
- Iron Curtain Collapse of the Soviet Union 1991
- Foreign Interaction of the Politics of Oil League of Arab States
- Arctic Circle
- Cracks in the Crown, Road to Dual Monarchy
- Too Hot to Handle: Spice Wars
- AD Hoc
- Unity or Defeat: Alliance of Itzcoatl
Sophomore Aanya Sinha won “Best Position Paper” from her committee “Too Hot To Handle: Spice Wars.”
The Model United Nations Club is always seeking new members who want to debate, discuss, and make a difference.
