Four students from RD Parker Collegiate are heading to Winnipeg today for a gathering of the Model United Nations Assembly.

Two groups of two students will be participating in the annual event, which serves as a learning simulation for how debates at the UN are settled.

One of the students, Hannah Murdy, has attended these assemblies in the past, so she already knows what to expect out of the event.

“What you can expect from something like this is meeting a whole lot of new people, learning a lot about different country’s politics and views on certain subjects, and we also get a guest speaker, so we get to hear them and see how they tie in to the United Nations.”

Murdy and her partner, Martha Magaji, will discuss Ireland and their resolution on unilateral coercive measures and human rights, while the other group, comprised of Tanner Nowlin and Ahmed Rinawi, researched Yemen and how the country would take their stand on the situation in Libya.
