It was such a joy to interview some of our current 6th year students about their experience with Montessori Model United Nations or MMUN. MMUN is a gathering of students from around the world who strive to reach collaborative solutions to solve current world problems, much like the United Nations. MMUN is a really neat organization and I recommend you look up their website to learn more about their founding and impact.

It is a beloved tradition for students in their final year at Villa to participate in this incredible experience throughout the year, culminating in a trip to NYC. In my conversation, I learned about all the preparation, writing, interviewing, and fundraising the students do for MMUN. I heard fun stories from their time together in NYC and how that time uniquely bonded their class together. It was inspiring to hear all the things they learned and the lessons and values that will continue on with them from this time. Because of the abundance of important conversations to be had, this episode turned into a two-parter, so stay tuned to hear from more lovely students in the weeks to come!

If you want to learn more about MMUN and all that the students do to participate, Ms. Colleen wrote a wonderful blog post all about this topic. You can find that post and many more on our website at villadimaria.org. Thanks so much for listening and have a wonderful day!
