MUNTW is a 

game changer

A project that allows for multiple entry points of learning.

Anytime I've ever done MUNTW with students the time goes by fast and the

A real boost in 

Student confidence

and ability to think of themselves as leaders, not only on our campus, but in the world.

Students

We learn a lot about

Global issues

and what countries have to do to solve things.

MUNTW is the best game to learn about our global problems and ways we can work together as a 

community

My favorite part is coming together with people you don't normally talk to and

work as a team

My favorite part is you really have to use your thinking skills and to 

negotiate

and trade to get resources for your country.

You get to represent different countries and simulate different events and that's what I like.  It's 

really fun

My favorite part of MUNTW is the

because I get to learn about the different resources and their value.

MUNTW shows how the global world around me works and how I can communicate with my classmates in a 

group project
