Darien High School Students Work with Chinese Students at Model UN
|
Darien High School students crossed language and culture barriers recently to work on human rights issues at the United Nations headquarters in New York City. The US-Chinese collaboration was part of the Model United Nations program, which is a simulation of the actual United Nations. This year, the theme was around respect, understanding, and cooperation. “This particular conference was special because DHS students worked with Chinese students. While playing the role of delegates, they sat in the same seats that UN delegates sit at to discuss the issues,” said DHS History teacher Dennis Cabrera.
