ABOUT GLOBAL CLASSROOMS DC

Global Classrooms DC (GCDC) is the flagship education program of the United Nations Association of the National Capital Area (UNA-NCA). Since 2003, GCDC has worked with students grade 5-12, including some of DC’s most underserved communities, to build global citizens. The program strives to build global and cultural awareness, improve public speaking, critical thinking, and writing skills, and expand students’ views of local and international issues. GCDC accomplishes these goals through our original global education curriculum that introduces students to UN-related issues, while equipping them with the skills they need to discuss and debate global issues in Model UN simulations. Every year, GCDC also holds two Model UN Conferences in partnership with the U.S. Department of State and the Pan American Health Organization, for students to practice their new skills.
