Description
Virtual Camp United Nations for Girls is a live, interactive class that introduces girls 10 to 16 to international politics and the work of the United Nations. Virtual Camp United Nations begins with a lesson on the history of the United Nations and its purpose. This is followed by a study of the structure, leadership, and the rules of procedure of the United Nations. Each student will be given an assignment to serve as a delegate for a UN Member State. When the General Assembly convenes delegates will propose a resolution. The resolution will be subject to negotiation and amendment by the UN Delegates before a vote on a final version of the resolution. Girl Scouts and Girl Guides earn a Global Action Award or World Thinking badge for participating in Virtual Camp United Nations for Girls.
The class is limited to 12 students. The class will be hosted via Cisco WebEx. We recommend students use a headset for the class to provide the best quality audio connection for all participants.
