The University Extension Project “Raise your hand” is proud to be holding its 15th Model United Nations at the National University of Quilmes (known in Spanish as MONUUNQ). The conference is open to students as well as teachers and authorities of elementary schools, middle schools, high schools
and universities. MONUUNQ will be held Thursday 27th and Friday 28th, August 2020, in Bernal (Saénz Peña St. 352). Registration is free of charge.
The activity has the cooperation of the International Center for the Promotion of Human Rights (CIPDH- UNESCO) and it is supported by the UNQ’s Bachelor degree in International Trade Administration.
The Model United Nations is a staging of the international relationship system inside United Nations sphere of action, with its structure, protocol and real
performance. Each participant will play the role of an international diplomat, from a specific country, considering its foreign policy. Throughout the meetings, students will
address global issues adopting a critical and holistic point of view during the debates, enabling them to strengthen their position without losing sight of the collective
belonging. We believe that the coexistence of plurality and diversity fosters negotiation skills development and consensus, creating opportunities for the development of
several skills such as oratory, leadership, and conflict resolution by peaceful means, among others.
The 2020 conference will, for the second consecutive year, focus on “Crime prevention and criminal justice”. The four commissions will address this theme.
