International Education in Ohio
• Why??“The United States finds itself today at the heart of a paradigm shift …..to a world in which more countries are gaining prosperity and influence. We will be sharing responsibility with multiple players for addressing complex issues in trade, health, the environment and security.
Our state, too, is at a critical moment in history, a moment when our role as a manufacturing giant in basic industry is shifting to an economy based on innovative new products in sectors that were not imagined even a decade ago. Decisions are being made that will determine whether Ohio prospers or stagnates during the 21st century. Education plays a critical role in these decisions.”Strategic Plan for International Education in Ohio

Cleveland Council on World Affairs
Model United Nations (MUN)
What is MUN? A worldwide program for middle school, secondary and college students to: 1) foster understanding about the United Nations, 2) educate participants about world issues, 3) promote peace, and 4) teach about the United Nations model of cooperation and diplomacy.
MUN's Purpose: The program involves students in a practical way in the study and discussion of global issues. Research about countries, oral debates, and written position papers encourage the development of critical thinking and demonstrative and writing skills. MUN is an interactive educational experience that teaches about the United Nations in a memorable and enjoyable way.
MUN's Process: MUN simulates the UN system of negotiation and diplomacy about critical world issues. Student delegates represent member states in the committees of the UN General Assembly. Students role play as "ambassadors" of assigned countries as they debate current issues on the UN's agenda from the perspective of that nation. They plot strategy, negotiate with supporters, navigate the UN's rules of procedure, and write resolutions that are voted on to become UN Mandates. The process educates participants in the functions of international debate, negotiation, and diplomacy. MUN helps produce informed global citizens who better understand the decisions their nations make and how those decisions affect politics locally and globally.
Aligned with a goal of ODE IEAC Strategic Plan: Preparing today’s students for a globally connected world.
