Context

As a Director for the ‘National High School Model United Nations’ conference, this is a project I headed alongside another conference Director.  ‘NHSMUN’  is the world’s largest and most prestigious Model UN conference for secondary school students and is long recognized for having the best substantive program on the MUN circuit. NHSMUN is known for its diverse, talented attendees, world-class staff, highly engaging debates, and academically-rigorous material. During the conference, students attending from around the world are able to take part in meetings with the diplomatic representatives of the countries they are representing, and other UN and NGO leaders visit committees for dynamic question and answer sessions. For this project, my Co-Director and I designed a background guide for our committee covering Japan’s post-WWII reconstruction. Our committee simulates the interactions between Japanese government officials and  Occupation forces as students work to construct a new constitution for the war-torn nation. At the same time, they must respond to address the numerous crisis occurring simultaneously.
