“Diplomatici Association” is an educational and training school made up of students, teachers, uni-versity lecturers and young professionals. Since 2000 it fosters the participation of Italian students (from middle to secondary schools, and universities) in the Model United Nations (MUN), the well known simulations of multilateral processes reproducing the action and works of the main United Na-tions organs. It’s been the first public body to take part in a MUN and since 2009 it has officially been the only Italian partner of UNA USA-UN Foundation.Founded in the year 2000 in Catania, firstly linked solely with the local University, today its presence is witnessing a massive growth, with centres all over the national territory. It also benefits from the patronage of renowned academic and scholastic institutions. Nowadays Diplomatici constitutes the only European body accredited by the United Nations Association of the United States of America (UNA USA) and by the National Collegiate Conference Association inc. (NCCA) for middle and high schools, as well as universities.

THE MISSION: THE RIGHT TO INTERNATIONAL STUDENT MOBILITY The action of “Diplomatici” reconstructs a process, very popular in the Anglo-American model, based only on the students’ initiative: in fact, it is characterized as a project conceived by the students, as-serting a model of didactic experience in which are predominantly the students themselves to pass on to their younger colleagues the required elements and abilities in order to take part in the UN simulations. Nevertheless, since the very beginning, it’s been pursuing a line which stimulates the deepest synergic involvement of the main components of the academic sector (teachers and stu-dents) presenting itself as a context open to debate and exchange of views about the major internatio-nal issues with the utmost respect for every opinion and diversity. Owing precisely to this mix of dif-ferent sensibilities, such as those of people who experience university as teachers and who, instead, as a student, go through university studies temporarily, that this outstanding synergy of ideas, wisdom and professional abilities determined its success. Thanks to all the students, lecturers, teachers, chief administrative officers, representatives of the diplomatic corps and mere supporters who willingly joined the project, the Diplomatici Association has been always depicted as an organization which encourages a close and honest dialogue, held with profound respect towards all the different ide-as and opinions. The interchange between these two worlds, which sometimes dramatically differs has been constituting the most decisive moment of this experience, and we believe it aims to be set exactly in the idea of respecting diversities through the exaltation of the dissimilarities which en-dow every human being in a unique manner.

Throughout the editions held in NYC from 2007 to 2010 Diplomatici Association received many awards assigned to the middle school, high school and university students: 1 best position paper award for the middle school project; 3 best delegation awards in General Assembly and in Security Council, 24 honorable mentions for the high school project; 1 best position paper award, a distin-guished delegation award and a honorable mention for the university project and a special award received from National Collegiate Conference Association (NCCA) for the high level of qualifica-tion of the students participating to the MUN.Students from middle schools have received an honorable mention for the excellent job done in the UNICEF Commission. The high school group of students from high school also got 2 prizes for the best position papers and 9 an honorable mentions. Such awards confirm Diplomatici as the most award-winning European agency for the participation in Model UN.The 2011 edition has involved more than 800 students coming from universities and schools of the fol-lowing cities: Agrigento, Bari, Busto Arsizio, Caltagirone, Caltanissetta, Capua, Catania, Messina, Mi-lano, Monza, Napoli, Palermo, Roma, Torino, Araraquara and Sao Paolo (Brazil) and Barcelona (Spain).

Diplomatici Italian agency of UNA USASince 2009 Diplomatici has been working by agreement the United Nations Association of United States of America (UNA USA), the American agency led by the UN Foundation which also organizes the Model United Nations undertaken by the middle and high school students. This agreement makes Diplomatici the only Italian agency of UNA USA.Moreover, the agreement provides for Italy to have the exclusive organization of Model United Na-tions hosting students from all over the world.

CHANGE THE WORLD MODEL UNITED NATIONS - UNIVERSITYthe only project in the world which includes two model united nations conferences

After a ten-year experience and the urge into a new mission to promote the right for students’ interna-tional mobility, Diplomatici has carried out a new project aiming at representing the top project among the others. CWMUN is the first academic simulation organized in New York by a non-American Associa-tion. Thanks to the strong collaboration between the Association and UNA USA, thanks to the learning mo-del Global Classroom, the project puts under the spotlight the training model on which the experiences linked to Model United Nations are based. It enriches not just thanks to the contents, but above all for the attitude of stirring up and focusing on the personal and relational ability of the individual. The possibility of competition with other people and the attempt to convince them that your ideas are the best even if they represent different cultural and political interests, require a deep knowledge of cultural identities. The respect for such differences, without ever living up a constructing criticism, the skill of problem solving, the determination in defending your position without fearing confrontation with the other’s ones, these are essential elements in order to obtain a diffused approval and establish the practice of a positive leadership. Such a model being constantly enforced, with the English language as the main in-strument in a fully international background, it represents the very distinguishing mark for a productive entrance in the field of global working. CWMUN offers thousands of Italian students an efficient training ground based on the method called ‘’learning by doing’’.
