VYMUN Junior 2022
By Ms. Jenise Boland, Model UN Coach
WPGA's senior school students are delighted to host the 17th iteration of the Vancouver Youth Model United Nations Conference (VYMUN). We are excited to launch a specialized stream solely for grade 7 students this year. The purpose of this stream is to introduce students who have never participated in a Model UN conference to the style, procedures and fun that goes with being a diplomat.
This year's committee is the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Committee (UNHCR). The topic is "Empowering refugees through technology"; a backgrounder will be available to students upon registration.
