Country Research Assignment
Due Date: Wednesday April 24
Welcome to Model United Nations!
For the rest of the semester, we will explore how nations influence and interact with one another into interconnected global community. We will discuss the challenges countries face when often the need to cooperate with other countries comes into conflict with each country's unique national interest.
Before we learn the rules and procedures of the United Nations, we first must explore the countries we will represent. In this assignment you will research your country in order to best represent your country's interests at the United Nations.
For each of our countries, we will complete the Country Fact Folder, which will be used during the Model United Nations conference held in June. Click the file below to download the form. Once you are finished, upload the completed form to your teacher in the box below.
