The Fort Hays State University Collegiate Model United Nations student group is pleased to announce the upcoming Heartland Model UN High School event, scheduled for Friday, Oct. 17, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on the FHSU campus.
This full-day conference invites high school students from across the region to take on the role of world leaders, debate global challenges, and collaborate on solutions in a professional and strategic environment.
Students will have the opportunity to participate in several committees that explore pressing international issues, such as reducing space threats, the universal realization of the right of peoples to self-determination, and nuclear security.
The event is open to all high schools, regardless of size or Model UN experience. Students will gain valuable skills in strategic diplomacy, public speaking, research, and teamwork while connecting with peers who share an interest in global affairs.
“Model UN provides students a unique chance to experience international relations firsthand,” said Dr. Jay Steinmetz, faculty advisor. “Whether students are new to Model UN or have prior experience, this event is designed to inspire critical thinking, leadership, and collaboration.”
Teachers and advisors are encouraged to share this opportunity with their students. Additional details and registration information can be found at sites.google.com/mail.fhsu.edu/heartland-modelun/home.
