The Model United Nations in Classroom project was established in 2016 in Recklinghausen. Last year students from two secondary schools participated in the conference which was hold at the Kreishaus Recklinghausen.

After different meetings for preparations, it is the duty for all students to do their best during this final conference. This year about 100 students will take part on that day. The schools Hittorf and Petrinum will again join the conference, as they did last year. Because of the political importance of this project, this year the Freiherr vom Stein Gymnasium, Kunniberg-Kolleg, Max-Born-Berufskolleg and the Städtisches Gymnasium Herten will join the MUNIC conference for the first time as well.
The conference will get a little more international, as students from Poland and Latvia will join the German students in the Kreishaus Recklinghaus. Those both groups were thrilled for the UN simulation through the partnership Wodzislaw (Poland) and the project “Diversity connects” (Latvia).
It will be easy for them to work together with the German participates because the conference will be hold in English as it is the rule for Model United Nations simulations.
