OUR INITIATIVES
PROFESSOR TALKS
Our Professor Talks Program is an opportunity for your students to hear from a range of working professionals and academics on the issues that they are debating in committee. We curate panels of leading professors, from our world-class School of International Service and School of Public Affairs, to discuss their research, open the floor for student discussion, and brainstorm real-world solutions to our region’s crises.
UNHCR REFUGEE CHALLENGE
AmeriMUNC is an annual participant in the Model UN Refugee Challenge held by the United Nations Human Right Council (UNHCR). This means that delegates in the UNHCR committee of AmeriMUNC will focus on the 100 million people who are displaced around the world in order to pass a resolution that provides solutions to this global issue. Those resolutions that are passed are then sent by AmeriMUNC to the UNHCR, where they are considered for awards by UNHCR members, young refugee leaders, and independent experts. If the committee's resolution is awarded, their solutions will be shared with UN policymakers and on the UNHCR social media, which is followed by millions of people worldwide.
WIRC
AmeriMUNC’s passion for education does not stand alone. Our sister conference, The Washington International Relations Conference (WIRC), serves to empower delegates with the skills to be successful in Model UN. WIRC is a one-day conference featuring workshops (WIRCshops), panel speakers, and mini simulations to help your delegates gain exposure to what Model UN is truly about and develop skills to be more successful delegates. Hosted on November 9th, 2024, WIRC operates on a hybrid system, offering both online and in-person opportunities for high school students in the United States.
Outside of conference day, WIRC continues its educational initiatives through its flagship FrameWIRC Program. FrameWIRC guides advisors and delegates on how to be more successful in Model UN by honing the development of skills. From DC’s public schools to private schools, and even home school programs – WIRC has provided materials, online consultations, and individualized tailored training to best suit your needs!
