- クラブ・委員会活動
On Sunday, June 9, ten Junior 3 students participated in the Ohtsuma Model United Nations held at Ohtsuma Women’s University in Hanzomon. With the current war in Ukriaine and the genocide being carried out in Gaza, this Model UN looked into a past failure of the real United Nations, which was failing to stop a genocide in Rwanda in 1994.
The goal of the conference was to see what could have been done to prevent the killing of more than 800,000 members of the Tutsi minority group by members of the Hutu majority which took place over 100 days.
To prepare for the conference, students participated in workshops led by our school’s History teacher, Mr. Watanabe.
At the end of the conference, one student said they were glad to learn about the atmosphere of a Model UN conference. Another stated that although they did research before this conference, they will need to do more research for the next one. Finally, everyone is looking forward to making a motion in the future.
模擬国連大妻会議に中３生徒が参加しました。議題はルワンダ虐殺で、1994年に起きた80万人を越えるツチ族の大虐殺をどうすれば防ぐことができたのかについて話し合いました。今回の模擬国連は会議前に社会科の教員からも基本知識に関する講義を受け、準備を進めました。初参加の生徒が多い会議でしたが、次の会議に向けてもっとリサーチに力を入れたいと意欲を見せています。（模擬国連同好会顧問 Jason May)
