The Hialeah Miami Lakes High School Model UN Competition Team will look to continue its successful campaign in 2016. The team is currently working diligently on position papers for two upcoming competitions.
HML will be one of the only schools in the area to attend the GatorMUN competition held annually at the University of Florida from January 29 - 31. GatorMUN is one of the region’s largest and most competitive high school Model United Nations conferences.
Delegates are challenged with difficult and controversial topics where they must collaborate to produce unique, innovative solutions to many of the issues that plague our world today. GatorMUN strives to hone each delegate’s public speaking, writing, diplomacy, and problem-solving skills while maintaining a central focus on education in international issues.
The theme of this year’s conference is “Growing People, Shrinking World.” This stems from the idea that the world population is growing too quickly for the Earth to sustain and therefore has given rise to an array of issues from resource conflicts to global warming.
The Team will then have a quick turn around where they will compete in the Miami Model UN Competition held at Miami Dade North. The Trojans will be looking to defend their best delegation award from last years competition.
