2019 - 2020 Report Highlights
In the 2019-2020 academic year,
over 900 middle and high school students were impacted, learned about, and discussed a variety of international issues through GCDC programing.
39 volunteers,
91 educators, and
44 groups and schools participated in and supported the program coming from schools and groups in the Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland area and outide the area in California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, the Cayman Islands, China, Lebanon, and Vietnam.
GCDC also held multiple conferences and events including the
Fall Model UN Training Conference at the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and a three-day
Model UN workshop at Our Lady of Good Counsel High School.
On March 17, UNA-NCA announced that, due to increased health concerns, the Spring 2020 Model UN Conference would be cancelled, which was originally scheduled for April 21. GCDC had hit nearly 80% of total capacity for the conference, the largest registration surge by February in recent program history. In light of the cancellation, GCDC used distance learning resources to coordinate Virtual Model UN sessions with students from
Cabin John Middle School and
Ronald Reagan Middle School who already prepared for the Spring Conference and organized a
professional development session for educators. Additionally, we coordinated with different partners and promoted their work throughout the spring semester, especially as related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
