LEARN MORE ABOUT THE UNSIL WORLD FAIR

The United Nations Schools of International Learning (UNSIL) program has been implemented in grades 4 through 8 at MPS’ most diverse schools since 2016.

In the program, students learn about the United Nations and its member countries throughout the world.  They think critically about real-world problems and research solutions, and work together to develop a global perspective.

Each year culminates in a World Fair where students present their work to each other and to the community and enjoy cultural performances from fellow MPS students.

Through this experience, students master critical academic skills such as research, writing, and presenting with a focus on world affairs and current events.  Students gain skills in debate, negotiation, and conflict resolution, and they develop empathy and tolerance – all competencies that will serve them well in college and careers.
