The 54th session of The Wisconsin High School Model United Nations Conference will be held, here at UW Madison.
The Wisconsin High School Model United Nations conference is a direct reflection of the Wisconsin Idea, emphasizing the role of education in benefiting the broader community. At WHSMUN, students from different walks of life can come together to engage in collaborative problem-solving on global issues, learning skills in diplomacy, critical thinking, and civic engagement. By simulating the workings of the United Nations, WHSMUN fosters learning outside of the classroom, encouraging students to apply their knowledge to real-world problems and promoting the idea that education should serve both local and global communities.
WHSMUN further embodies the Wisconsin Idea by fostering a sense of responsibility and global citizenship among high school students. Through its simulations, WHSMUN empowers students to tackle complex global issues—such as climate change, human rights, and international security—by encouraging them to research and develop sustainable solutions. This hands-on learning experience allows students to apply academic skills in a broader social context, nurturing a deeper understanding of global interdependence and the importance of an informed populous.
