December 11, 2023  One of the recipients of a Global Awareness grant was the  Buffalo Grove High School Model United Nations Club.   Over the course of four days, members of the club participated in the annual Chicago International Model UN Conference hosted downtown at the Fairmont Hotel.  Students practiced the art of diplomacy and debate while finding real-world solutions to issues in the historical simulation of 1962 and present-day issues involving Ukraine, the environment, and migration.  Students came away with increased confidence and independence while meeting peers from across the country and other nations, including Mexico.
