The O-MAN follows the Hague International Model United Nations model and information can be found on http://www.onlinemodelunitednations.org/ This website contains all the necessary information including calendar dates and information for debates, there are over 50 dates schedules each year. The sessions are hosted on Blackboard where the students can vote on resolutions, raise a “placard” and become more aware, active global citizens. They use Mighty Bell as a research site curated by students, which you can get invited to. There are badges for delegates based on engagement, and there is a blog to promote student voices that really gets to the heart of what O-MUN is. There are stories of how MUN is giving opportunities and insights to young people from all around the world. Students also have opportunity to mentor other students. This is a great project and I am sharing this with our Humanities teacher so our students can become involved.
