Oakridge hosts the first Middle School Conference.. Oak JMUN 2013



Oakridge was a witness for the first time to a conference which had the middle school students as young as 10  who had donned the role of diplomats to understand and implement solutions to the problems of the country they represented.
It was a very interesting and meaningful experience for all involved and amazing to see the interest that the conference generated among the youngsters. These reflections by students reflect the kind of awesome experience it has been for the children.











'The moderated caucus was very informative. The unmoderated caucus was a lot of fun. It was an experience to remember.....'

'I felt very shy at the beginning but it was really interesting....'

'It was overall an amazing opportunity and I loved it. I was quite disappointed since I did not get a chance to speak in the GSL (General Speaker's List) I found the experience very enlightening. The chairs were very nice....':) :) :) Looking forward for more MUNs......'

' I really liked Oak JMUN because I got to overcome my fears.. My director was amazing and I was able to make 'blocs'..............'

'I really understood how the UN works. .. The problems that the world is facing and how each country is working to eradicate them...'

'The chair and vice chair were very polite and they helped us. I think we should have JMUN every year...'

'JMUN was one of the best things that ever happened in school. Our Director and AD has been the best ever...'
