Palmer Trinity's 2
nd
Annual
Miami Model UN Conference
Palmer Trinity School (PTS) and the PTS Model United Nations organization hosted the 2
nd
Annual Miami Model
United Nations Conference (MIAMUN II) on Friday and Saturday, April 12 and 13. The PTS club welcomed fellow
local Model UN high school students from St. Thomas Aquinas and Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart.
More than 60 delegates debated under the theme of this year's conference: Building Multilateral Connections.
They were led by capable committee chairs and assisted by nearly twenty Middle School volunteers.
The conference was divided into three committees: the UN Security Council which discussed the current crisis in
Venezuela, the General Assembly Social Humanitarian 3
rd
Committee (SOCHUM) which debated the issue of human
trafficking, and the General Assembly Special Political and Decolonization 4
th
Committee (SPECPOL) that questioned the
future of Palestine. All committees fostered a healthy environment where delegates could work on solutions to global
issues, come to agreements and engage in meaningful dialogue that increased their international awareness.
"Congratulations to all the participants and many thanks to all the advisors and PTS support staff
who made this conference a reality! Palmer Trinity School truly preps our students to be global
citizens," stated Dr. Manjula Salomon, Associate Head for Academic Affairs.
