Great Lakes Invitational Conference Association

Mission

Participation calls upon students to confront numerous topics foremost in the international community, and attempt to resolve issues that are far outside their own personal experiences. In addition to learning substantive content regarding the agenda topics, students improve a variety of skills including research, writing, public speaking, consensus building, negotiation, teamwork, and objective critical thinking. We hope that by giving these students hands-on experience in these areas, they can grow to become more mature, responsible leaders for the future. The Model United Nation experience provides a rare opportunity for high school students to engage in high-level synthesis and evaluation of the topics. They learn core objectives in social studies, science, and English Language Arts.
