Register now for a summer camp at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point that allows students to take on the role of a diplomatic representative while learning about international issues and relations.
The third annual Model United Nations (UN) summer day camp will be offered Wednesday through Friday, August 7-9, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. for students in grades 7-12. The camp will be led by Mert Kartal, an assistant professor of political science and international relations, as well as student members of the university's award-winning Model UN team.
The camp simulates activities of the UN, such as the Security Council or General Assembly. Participants assume roles of diplomatic representatives to the UN as they consider contemporary international concerns such as terrorism, nuclear weapons, immigration, poverty and global warming.
Participants will learn the basics of the UN as an international organization, understand key contemporary issues in international relations, develop an understanding of inter-state diplomacy and strengthen their research, communication, negotiation and leadership skills. No prior Model UN knowledge is required.
The day camp costs $150 for those who register by Friday, Feb. 15, and pay before Friday, March 1. The cost is $165 after March 1, due by Monday, April 15. Registration is limited to 21 students and is first-come, first-served.
The fee includes breakfast and lunch for the three days, all materials, walking tour of campus, T-shirt and drawstring bag. Learn more at www.uwsp.edu/polisci/Pages/muncamp.aspx or email mkartal@uwsp.edu for more information.
