An MUN conference is a simulation of the Organization's principal organs such as the Security Council, the General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council and its committees, and the International Court of Justice. Student participants assume the roles of representatives of member states to the UN and address issues currently in the Organization's agenda. The long-term goal of the Association is to coordinate a strategy with PR's Education Department to effectively expand all its programs and services to serve Puerto Rico's public school system.
Independent actions can interact and strengthen one another.
In this way we shall gradually move from a culture conditioned by centuries of war to a culture existing in the name of peace. The organization perceives education, science, culture and communication as not simply technical subjects suitable for cross-border cooperation, but as the very foundations of a peaceful and secure world order. The purpose of this teaching unit is to help students become aware that special cultural and natural sites have been selected for protection throughout the world, that these places have importance for all of us and that students can have a role in protecting the heritage these sites represent. A pilot programe will begin on the summer of 1997 with high schools wich have developed a Model UN program. As with the MUN program, the ultimate objective is to include these programs in Puerto Rico's public school system.
