[…] The BICS Model UN team travels to the Kalamazoo Radison Hotel Conference Center for the Mid-American Model United Nations conference, March 7th through 11th. The conference hosts approximately 500 high school students from the Great Lakes region and features five General Assembly committees, three Economic and Social Council committees, a week-long Security Council and ad hoc crisis committees. The BICS students participating are third-year Model UN veterans, Simeon Richards, Tessa Jones and Forrest Avery, as well as newcomers Quinn Jones, Riley Williamson, Susi Meyers and our exchange student from Thailand, Sun Kuntaro. The countries represented by Beaver Island in past years have been Belarus and Libya. This year, the team hails from Fennoscandia as Finland. The team has been preparing on their lunch hour for the grueling but exciting week of deliberation, debate and compromise. Some of the twenty-eight items to be considered by our BICS students: nuclear disarmament, the role of diamonds in fueling conflict, the advancement of women, peaceful uses of outer space, external debt sustainability and the rights of indigenous people. If you see one of the team in the community, ask them about their agenda topics! You can learn more about the conference here: mamunonline.com/mamun/ […]
