MUN

As the middle school social studies teacher, one of Dave's responsibilities is to help organize the Woodstock Model United Nations (WSMUN). This promises to be a great learning experience for the students here. The one problem is, of course, that while teaching in the US and Germany Dave had never organized, participated in, or even seen an MUN conference. This shortcoming was corrected this weekend. Dave left for Delhi on Friday after school with ten ninth grade students and another chaperone. They went to the capital to participate in the Delhi Public School Model United Nations (DPSMUN). This was a very large affair with more than 120 schools and almost a thousand delegates.

Dave spent most of his time observing to get an idea of how an MUN conference is run. The process was quite fun to watch. In the evenings, the conference participants were taken by bus to some of the tourist sites in Delhi. Arguably the best part of the weekend for Dave, though, was the trip to Pizza Hut before taking the night train back to Mussoorie. We don't have any pictures of this weekend yet because Dave left the camera at home. If we can get some from other conference participants, we will be sure to post them.
