中国模拟联合国的发展历程、特征及其教育价值

Research on the Development History,Characteristics,and Educational Value of China's Model United Nations

模拟联合国是一项致力于促进青年国际理解的教育活动。20世纪90年代初被引入中国,自此,模拟联合国相关活动如火如荼地开展起来,中国三类组织主体发挥优势竞相主办模联,推动模联从初步探索阶段逐步进入多元发展阶段。目前,中国模联主要有高校学术性模联、个人非营利性模联和组织商业性模联三大类型,优劣各异。模联活动的讨论主题、会议规则和具体环节均具有重要的教育价值。分析并总结模联活动的教育价值,培养尊重理解各国文明多样性的青年人才,是扎实推进教育高质量发展、促进文明交流、增强文明包容的重要保障。

Model United Nations(MUN)is dedicated to promoting the education for international understanding among young people.In the early 1990s,it was introduced to China,and since then,relevant activities have been carried out in full swing.Three types of Chinese organizations have leveraged their advantages to host the MUN,which promotes evolution from initial exploration to diversified development.At present,there are three major types of MUN in China:academic MUN in universities,personal non-profit MUN,and commercial MUN,with their pros and cons.The discussion topics,meeting rules,and specific segments of the MUN all have important educational values.It is therefore of great significance to analyzing and summarizing the educational value of MUN,cultivating young talents who respect and understand the diversity of civilizations in various countries,so as to promote high-quality education,cultural exchanges and inclusiveness.
