Model United Nations

Model UN is a unique club which combines politics, culture, diplomacy,research, and public speaking. The main objective of the club is to take part in a UN simulation, dealing with the same issues that the actual United Nations does. Students are no longer US citizens, but instead become delegates of another country. In preparation for the conferences, students research their country's culture, economics, history, geography and politics. Students must also pay close attention to current events. The major challenge of this club is to stop looking at everything as an American and to view situations through another country's eyes. As a result, students gain a greater appreciation and understanding of other cultures as well as their own.

The Fairfield team annually participates in several national and international Model UN conferences, and hosts an annual regional high school Model UN on Fairfield's campus in the Fall.
