This year marked the Fifth Annual Model UN Conference at EF Academy. Yet, it was the first time they welcomed a school outside of their EF network. 

 

EF students were very excited to meet Westlake students, as the group participated in structured foreign policy debate, following parliamentary procedure. 

 

There was a combination of formal speeches, along with moderated and unmoderated caucuses. In addition to serving as mock versions of UN agencies, WHS students made friends from around the world.  

 

Attending a Model UN conference was an amazing experience. Students gained invaluable knowledge about global affairs and the functioning of the UN; those who attended even practiced public speaking and collaboration. The conference culminated in writing multilateral solutions to the global issues at hand.
