Delegates meet on day one for an online orientation, introductions, ice-breakers and a review of Rules of Procedure. After that, a Celebration of Nations kicks off the Opening Ceremony where they hear Inspirational words from UN Ambassadors along with stories shared by young social entrepreneurs and activists.The delegates are inspired and energized for the next days’ committee sessions.

COMMITTEE SESSIONS START

The committee floor opens for delegations to present their speeches for the first topic on the agenda. The delegates express their positions and listen to the opinions of others, engaging in formal and informal discussion, negotiation and collaboration with an aim to produce a draft resolution that will be passed by consensus.

COMMITTEE SESSIONS CONTINUE

The committee continues its work on the first topic, meeting in informal small groups to formulate their solutions into working papers which will be molded into the formal wording of a draft resolution.

COMMITTEE SESSIONS CONTINUE

After a pause between committee days, the committee reconvenes to finish discussing topic one and then moves into speeches to discuss the second agenda topic.

COMMITTEE SESSIONS END

Continuing their engaging discussions and negotiations, a second draft resolution is produced by the committees and either passed by consensus or voted on. Each committee elects Closing Bureaus made up of three delegates to represent each topic.

CLOSING CEREMONY AND CELEBRATION FESTIVAL

The conference comes to a close with a Closing Ceremony to celebrate the accomplishments of all committees and listen to the summary presentations of their resolutions, motivating talks by Ambassadors and youth leaders, and inspirational songs by delegates teaming up with grammy nominated Alexander Star. Following the ceremony, delegates celebrate party-style with DJ Ephniko and Star leading the way and capture snapshots of their excitement as they personally meet Star during a “virtual autograph” event.

“Fun” is the name of the game throughout the conference as it is sprinkled with ways to interact socially with peers from around the world. Submit creative designs surrounding the conference SDG theme for a contest, turn home-made flag artwork into a virtual background to use during committee sessions, share cultural music and customs with peers, submit personally recorded dance challenges, and apply to participate in a song-writing workshop to create music that expresses goals for solving world problems.

THE OPENING CEREMONY

With pomp and circumstance, the formal Opening Ceremony starts with the Parade of Nations. Inspirational words from UN Ambassadors, music and stories shared by young social entrepreneurs and activists are highlights of the opening night.The delegates are inspired and energized for the next days’ committee sessions.

COMMITTEE SESSIONS BEGIN

Students, teachers and parents peruse the culture and history of each of the nations represented at the conference, in a Hall of Nations visual display.
Each “delegation” designs a creative display of what they have learned about the country they represent.This process involves artistic expression side-by-side with research.
Parents, teachers, and chaperones have the opportunity to observe the proceedings in each of the committee rooms. Workshops by a variety of relevant speakers are held at the conference venue in the morning and afternoon.
Committee sessions begin with introductions by Bureau Members. The Bureau reviews the Rules of Procedure, conducts roll call, presents the topic at hand, and then formally opens the floor for delegations to present their speeches.
The speech is an opportunity for students within a delegation to explain their country’s position on a topic and the solutions they propose.
The delegates work to express their positions and hear the opinions of others, engaging in formal and informal discussion, negotiation and collaboration.
Once a draft resolution is finalized, voted, and reaches consensus within the committee, the members silently vote for a three delegate “Closing Bureau” to present it at the Closing Ceremony.

Day Three

Equipped with operational knowledge and useful tools for negotiation, the student delegates continue to run the committee sessions for a second day, usually completing the first topic and then moving enthusiastically onto the second.
Adults are impressed with the fact that the young students work independently with only procedural guidance offered by the Bureau. In the evening, they attend the conference socials where they have relax and fun with new found friends. In the evening, students participate in a Cultural Performance event, watching or performing musical numbers or skits that represent their own culture or the culture they learned about.

Closing Ceremony

During the ceremony, the Closing Bureaus for each committee summarize their draft resolutions before all of the other delegates, parents, and teachers. The committees vote or pass their draft resolutions by consensus to finalize a resolution, and the committee stands to receive resounding applause for successful cooperation.These young people experience the thrill of successful negotiation and collaboration. All resolutions are published on our website for participants to review and are forwarded to the UN Secretary General.
The formal Closing Ceremony is certainly the culmination of four months of persistent work at home and in school, two days on-site during the conference. More than these, it is a right of passage for young people who have experienced that they have both an individual and collective voice. Every student – from the shy and quiet ones to the bold and courageous – leave the conference with better sensitivity to the needs of other people and are armed with the awareness of their abilities to impact the world.
