Greater Boston Model UN Conference

Author: Kalen LeBlanc

After slogging through a windy, rainy Nor’easter, the Norwell High School Model UN representatives arrived at Suffolk Law School for the GBMUN Conference. At the conference, waterborne illness was discussed, as well as creative solutions to prevent the illness from occurring. The students passed resolutions to the issues after conversing with other delegates and learning about the problems nearly two billion people face around the world— the lack of sanitation for sewage, hand washing facilities, and access to clean tap water. Several students excelled in their diplomacy skills with particularly strong abilities in negotiating and public speaking. All in all, the representatives had an extremely productive and inspiring visit at Suffolk Law School and set the tone for their future conference.
