GEMUN (Global Elementary Model United Nations)

Pages on Stage (GEMUN 2005)

Global Elementary Model United Nations is what the name implies -- elementary (and middle school) students role-playing the assemblies of the United Nations! This enriching, exciting opportunity has been available in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, U.S.A. since 1990.

GEMUN is an excellent hands-on approach to learning in a global context. By role-playing delegates to the United Nations, young people from varied backgrounds learn about other countries, cultures and international relationships, while developing a global perspective on real issues confronting the world community today, and acquiring many transferable skills.

During the school year, elementary and middle school children and their sponsors receive help through workshops and printed materials. This preparation will culminate in a two-day Model United Nations session.

Students immensely enjoy the collegiate setting while participating in GEMUN. Due to the authentic nature of the material and assignments, they see direct application of the information to their daily lives, the problems in the world and their surroundingenvironment.
