'UN Replica' is an international programme for schools in UAE for the class 8th to 12th, which recreates the United Nations in its most authentic form.
The UN Replica is an authentic replication of the UN General Assembly and the Security Council with the full participation of students as delegates and the Secretariat.
The vibrancy, the variety and the wealth of ideas of the United Nations are recreated to give the students a unique experience of how the world organization functions, In other words, the students will get a sense of participation in the UN in action.
The programme will be of immense benefit to the students as they will get a realistic experience of multilateral diplomacy, involving public speaking, representation, negotiations, protection and promotion of national interests. Moreover, the United Nations is a virtual university, where the students can learn the arts of negotiation, persuasion and consensus building.
They will also learn how to disagree without being disagreeable and how to give concessions without sacrificing core interests. The way countries agree on a multitude of issues year after year even when they retain their sovereignty and diversity is a lesson for a lifetime for students. It is a vital part of education they cannot obtain in the classroom.
The UN REPLICA will also be able to inspire students to aspire to international jobs in the United Nations and elsewhere. There are many international organisations and NGOs who offer career opportunities for young people with experience of multilateral political and economic work.
Apart from the regular international Civil Service, there are possibilities for consultancy and voluntary work, The UN REPLICA will ignite their minds about the possibility of a diplomatic career either in their national diplomatic service or in the international civil service.
