Week 17
"The UN Security Council": simulación de debate.

What will we achieve today?

Session Objective: Participates in a simulated UN debate, representing a country and arguing for solutions to global issues in English.

Community Connection: We will connect this language structure to describe our own life experiences, family stories, and community realities in Popayán and the Cauca region.

Key Concepts

• UN debate protocol: Moderated caucus, unmoderated caucus, voting, drafting resolutions.
• Diplomatic language: 'The delegation of Colombia believes that...', 'We urge the council to...', 'It is vital to...'.
• Structure of a position paper: Problem definition, country stance, proposed solutions.

Practical Challenge: Country Position Stance

In pairs, assume the role of a UN delegate for a country (e.g., Brazil, Germany) and write a 6-sentence position paper on climate action using formal language.

Reflection & Wrap-up

Self-assessment Question: Deliver a 1-minute opening speech representing your country's position to the mock council.
