The United Nations in Vienna organized on Sunday, August 4, a youth conference to simulate working in the international organization, with the participation of about 250 young people from 40 countries. The simulation conference is a practical application that simulates the work of the United Nations and is run by students, where they assume the roles of foreign diplomats to learn about matters of international politics and diplomacy. Participants in the Model United Nations are high school students from around the world, who join the conference as a school team that includes six students and one or two teachers. The participating students must conduct research related to the countries that they will represent at the conference, in addition to researching specific issues that will be raised for discussion in the committees on which they will be assigned to work. The authority’s statement said that the participants are between the ages of 18 and 35 years, and the conference is an opportunity to engage in the role of diplomats and simulate the negotiation process in various United Nations committees and agencies. The statement added that the youth will work as delegates and ambassadors for their countries, participate in preparing draft resolutions, negotiate with all parties, and discuss conflict resolution.
