4 winning ideas from Model UN students to help refugees!

Описание: Have you heard of Model United Nations (MUN)? These simulations of the UN, in which students from primary school to university step into the shoes of diplomats to solve global issues, have gained popularity across the globe to the point of being featured in the Simpsons.

At the beginning of 2020, UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, decided to challenge students to tackle issues related to forced displacement during their debates. The reward? Getting their best ideas shared with policy-makers.

More than 20,000 students in 75 countries accepted the challenge. They collectively drafted “resolutions” which were reviewed by a panel of experts and young refugees. Here’s a summary of the winning ideas and some of the thinking behind them.
