Alpamayo at the UN General Assembly
The MMUN’s final conference is held within the UN Headquarters where the committee resolutions are voted on. Our delegation was comprised of Ignacio Vasquez, José Alonso Jara, Sergio Díaz, Christian Muñoz, Pedro Requejo, Tomas Wu, Brian Stopp, Juan Manuel Nöel and Sebastian Castro-Mendivil. Over 2,500 students, of whom more than half are from outside the United States, come to New York each Spring to discuss current global issues. This is the annual Montesssori Model UN Conference, and 2016 was the 10th Anniversary. This year, nine students from Alpamayo and students from Hiram Bingham came prepared to solve the various pressing issues of today including child slavery, organized crime, and ISIS in any one of the 21 simulated UN committees. Our students debated and interacted in English with students from over 22 countries including China and Australia. Outside conference sessions, delegations enjoyed the proximity to the Permanent Missions to the UN including a trip to the Peruvian Ambassador’s residence in NY, the UN General Assembly, as well as world class museums, architecture, and a visit to Broadway to see ‘The Phantom of the Opera’.
Congratulations to Harvey Gidman, who was the head of the delegation of Alpamayo.
Our Students had the privilage of representing Canada, Costa Rica and Austrailia during the conference.
