Training Day is open to all high school teams that plan to participate in the Model UN Conference in March.

TU-BCPS Model UN is open to all Baltimore County public high school students. Non-BCPS students (including home school students) are also welcome to participate, space permitting. Student delegates must attend Model UN as part of a team led by a teacher (Advisor).

To register, follow this two-step process:

First, the Advisor registers the team before early October. 

Second, TU staff sends Advisors a registration link to share with potential student delegates. Student delegates must register themselves with the link.

Teacher Advisors - if you are interested in bringing a Model UN team, please email tubcpsmun@gmail.com.

Yes. School teams are required to participate in Training Day to be eligible for the March conference. At least one Advisor for each team needs to be present at all times.

In the morning, participants enjoy a delicious breakfast from TU's on-campus catering company.

Lunch is in the Glen Dining Hall, which offers an all-you-can-eat buffet!

We can accommodate various dietary needs, so please let us know in advance if you have any specific requirements.

Learn about the United Nations from Dr. Alison Rios Millett McCartney, Model UN Co-Founder and expert in international relations, foreign policy, civic engagement, and, of course, the United Nations. She guides student delegates through the history and founding principles, explains the structure, and provides insights into the role of the United Nations. This session is designed to equip student delegates with the necessary background knowledge to jumpstart their participation in the March conference.

This interactive workshop, led by a TU student or alumnus, teaches essential skills of diplomacy. Student delegates learn how to build relationships, find common ground, and effectively advocate for their country's interests.

Sustainable Development Groups are a small-group discussion activity focused on the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030.

In the afternoon of Training Day, student delegates participate in a Diplomacy and Negotiation Workshop, where they learn more details about the art of diplomacy and begin researching their assigned country. This interactive workshop is led by a TU student volunteer, who teaches basic conference etiquette, negotiation strategies, and the expectations of diplomatic negotiation. Student delegates practice drafting a Preliminary Statement.
