Model United Nations at Trent University |
||
Delegates attend council sessions, participate in crisis scenarios and host mock press conferences. The proceedings are enhanced by TIME staff posing as lobbyists from non-governmental organizations, corporations and interest groups. Friday morning, at an Economic and Social (ECOSOC) session, delegates debated a motion from the United Kingdom that called for micro-loans to be distributed to African refugees. The loans of $40 to $100 are provided to help individuals start a business or service. Council sessions will continue throughout the weekend. An International Dinner with all the delegates will take place Saturday night. The Trent Model United Nations Society, a student organization, coordinates TIME each year.
