Ex officio
The UN Day 2020 sponsorship will support Global Classrooms, a program implemented in partnership with middle and high schools throughout the Houston area where students explore current world issues and cultivate literacy, life skills, and attitudes necessary for active citizenship. This program culminates with a spring Model UN Conference where students can apply the knowledge, presentation, and debate skills learned throughout the school year.
