If you are interested in current affairs and global politics and enjoy debating or public speaking, you will gain a great deal from joining our Model United Nations programme.
This programme gives you the chance to play the role of an international ambassador for a country allocated to you (not necessarily your own!) You will attend committee discussions with representatives from many different countries and consider specific issuse currently in the news. We often join other participants from other schools, which enables you to meet new people and pit your wits against those you do not already know.
Our Year 10s recently shared a Model United Nations debate with two local state comprehensive schools with which we have a very special triangular relationship - Sir William Romney School, Tetbury, and Malmesbury School. All the Year 10 girls took part, addressing issues such as the Palestinian problem, nuclear disarmament, world poverty and women's equality. The event was very rewarding and enjoyable for all.
Westonbirt's MUN programme is run by Mrs Cowell, Head of History.
