The core learning element of this program is an academic simulation of the United Nations organized by the prestigious Harvard University. The main objective of this simulation is to expose the students to some of the pressing issues across the world and to the intricate challenges of being a world leader. This is a unique & creative simulation, popularly known as Model United Nations, in which the students are engaged in role-play with each of them being assigned the posts of diplomats & country representatives in the UN & its various organs. Students of the SOS Amravati participate in this unique program every year.
