THEME

UN+UNIFIED: What's keeping North Korea and South Korea apart?

Stuck in a military stalemate for over 70 years, the Korean Peninsula remains one of the only divided nations in the world. Despite the intervention and involvement of 26 countries, Korea is technically still at war, posing a major threat to global security.

At this event, high school students will step into the shoes of country leaders. You will be guided by volunteers to come up with creative solutions to situations based on real-life challenges. Get ready to shape the trajectory of events as you respond to new circumstances and make decisions on your country’s next steps.

Most of all, you will explore why Korea is yet to reunite and leave with valuable insight into the complexities of international diplomacy.
