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.
