The world is a curious place and middle school students are amongst its most curious of learners.  They are old enough to reason, yet young enough to still wonder.  “Why do human beings show such little regard for their environment; why can’t countries get along with one another; why do some children go to school when others are forced to work in factories?”  These are among the many questions that middle school students ask in their Civitas United Nations programs.

 

Playing the role of a U.N. delegate is first introduced to 6th grade students.  In 7th and 8th grades, they work with more complex issues and sophisticated agendas.  The solutions they create are often models to the adults they emulate.
