As the invasion of 🇺🇦 Ukraine intensifies, how might we use the same process to empower our students as global citizens, critical thinkers and problem-solvers? Yesterday, I had the great privilege of chatting with Robert Gold, the Model United Nations Coordinator at the International School of Kuala Lumpur on how to start the discussion in our classrooms. Through the interview we learn how to:
- Help students understand the complexities of the conflict
- Seamlessly weave together history, geography, and language topics found in our curriculum
- Help students differentiate between 'real' and 'fake' news
- Organize our own Model United Nations conference with little to no experience
- Motivate students to give up entire weekends to the process of diplomacy
