EDIZIONI REGIONALI

IMUN Middle
School Torino

Dal 14 al 16 Aprile 2025

L’Italian Model United Nations è la prima simulazione a svolgersi a Torino, indirizzata ai soli studenti delle scuole medie inferiori. Giunto alla sua quarta edizione, il model è organizzato da United Network in collaborazione con istituzioni comunali di Torino e Provincia. Quest’anno l’edizione di Torino avrà l’ambizioso obiettivo di affermarsi come punto di riferimento per il territorio, in una realtà che da sempre ha manifestato una forte sensibilità per le politiche scolastiche di educazione alla cittadinanza.

Cos'è un model un

I Model United Nations sono simulazioni dell’Assemblea Generale delle Nazioni Unite o di altri multilateral bodies, nelle quali approfondirai i temi oggetto dell’agenda politica internazionale. Indossando i panni di ambasciatori e diplomatici, svolgerai le attività tipiche della diplomazia: terrai discorsi, preparerai bozze di risoluzione, negozierai con alleati e avversari, risolverai conflitti adottando le regole di procedura delle Nazioni Unite.

QUANDO SI SVOLGE IMS TORINO

La simulazione si svolgerà a Torino dal 14 al 16 Aprile 2025. I lavori si terranno in lingua inglese e vedranno la partecipazione di studenti provenienti da tutto il Piemonte. I lavori saranno diretti e coordinati dallo staff board di United Network. Tale progetto vede, inoltre, il coinvolgimento di Leonardo – Educazione Formazione Lavoro, ente che si occupa del coordinamento scientifico e didattico dei progetti di United Network.

PREMIO BEST DELEGATE

Lo studente che sarà considerato il migliore, tra i junior e i delegate, vincerà l’opportunità di partecipare alla prossima edizione di IMUN. Il premio, assegnato sulla base dell’insindacabile giudizio dello staff board allo studente maggiormente distintosi durante la simulazione, consisterà in un voucher formativo che coprirà tutte le spese per la partecipazione alla simulazione.
