EDIZIONI REGIONALI

IMUN Middle
School Padova

Dal 7 al 9 Aprile 2025

L’Italian Model United Nations è la prima simulazione a svolgersi a Padova, destinata unicamente agli studenti delle scuole medie inferiori. Dopo il successo della prima, e arrivata ora alla sua seconda edizione, l’iniziativa è organizzata da United Network in collaborazione con FIDAE. L’edizione di quest’anno a Padova mira con ambizione a diventare un punto di riferimento sul territorio, inserendosi in un contesto che ha sempre esternato una grande sensibilità verso politiche scolastiche di educazione alla cittadinanza.

Cos'è un model un

I Model United Nations sono simulazioni dell’Assemblea Generale delle Nazioni Unite, oltre che di altri multilateral bodies, dove avrai l’opportunità di esplorare i temi oggetto dell’agenda politica internazionale. Interpretando il ruolo di ambasciatori e diplomatici, ti dedicherai alle attività tipiche della diplomazia: pronuncerai discorsi, redigerai bozze di risoluzione, negozierai con avversari e alleati, risolverai conflitti tra le nazioni, seguendo le regole procedurali delle Nazioni Unite.

QUANDO SI SVOLGE IMS PADOVA

La nuova edizione si terrà a Padova dal 7 al 9 Aprile 2025 e vedrà la partecipazione di giovani studenti provenienti da tutto il Veneto. La simulazione verrà tenuta in lingua inglese e sarà coordinata e diretta dallo staff board di United Network. Inoltre, il progetto coinvolgerà anche Leonardo – Educazione Formazione Lavoro, ente responsabile del coordinamento scientifico e didattico dei progetti di United Network.

PREMIO BEST DELEGATE

Lo studente migliore, tra i junior e tra i delegate, potrà partecipare alla prossima edizione di IMUN. Il premio, sotto forma di Voucher Formativo, sarà conferito a giudizio dello staff board a chi si distinguerà maggiormente durante la simulazione, e coprirà le spese per la partecipazione all’evento.
