Local Students Represent Czech Republic At Model UN Conference

March 17, 2015

Four Northview High School students recently took part in the 36th annual  Florida High Schools Model United Nations conference in Orlando.

The high school conference was modeled after real debate and United Nations actions and programs.

Northview students Madison Weber, Hadley Woodfin, Carly Ward, and Moriah McGahan , under the leadership of teacher Anna Barry, represented the assigned country of the Czech Republic.  They learned about the government, history, current problems and other important subjects within the Czech Republic.

Students were provided with topics to debate with representatives of other countries to formulate a resolution paper to solve the problem in a way beneficial to their represented country. There were a total of 21 countries represented by 242 delegates at the conference.

Northview’s Model UN team participated in several committees — NATO, United Nations Environment Programme, United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, and United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.  Te team was recognized as an honorable delegation.

Last year, Northview became the first Escambia County public school to participate in a Florida High Schools Model United Nations conference.
