These activities are an incredible way to put your speech and debate skills into practice. Above that, you will learn the art of diplomacy, negotiation, world events, geography, and so much more! I have thoroughly enjoyed watching the unscripted process of student leaders rising from among their peers within the committee rooms. On the flip side, if you're a student that's not sure if this is something you'd enjoy, this is the perfect venue to observe and learn more about the world around you. Other than stating your presence at the beginning of each new day, you won't be forced to say anything more.
Model United Nations
Homeschool students of all ages from across Texas join together to form team Strada for participation in Model United Nations Conferences. Model UN events are held all throughout the world. Most of our involvement is limited to Texas with one additional high school event in Oklahoma, but it doesn't have to be. If you have a desire to prep for a conference outside of Texas, I'm happy to help you do it! Here is a list of most of the conferences throughout the world.
Model NATO
For those looking for a different set of international problems to solve, Model NATO is now available. This activity is similar in style and practice to Model United Nations, but all delegates are allied though not always in agreement and have military enforcement capabilities. The only high school Model NATO conference in the United States is held in Houston, TX. We proudly support this educational venue!
