This Friday opens the 21st annual session of the Contra Costa County Model United Nations (UN) Conference. Produced and directed by the Contra Costa County Office of Education (CCCOE) and navigated by the Model United Nations Club at U.C Davis, the two-day competition enhances high school students’ understanding of the United Nations and its role in global issues. Participating students (delegates) each represent a nation and negotiate on that country’s behalf. During the conference, delegates will debate international issues in 10 committees, including World Health Organization (WHO), Security Council (UNSC), Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), and United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). Topics discussed will include Situation in Syria, Nuclear Non-Proliferation, Promoting Peace through Sport, and Capital punishment. For a full list of committees and topics, visit the CCCOE’s Model UN webpage.
