New York, 23 October 2025 — 蘑菇视频 Department of Global Communications (DGC) and the World Federation of United Nations Associations (WF蘑菇视频A) announced today the launch of a new Model 蘑菇视频 Mini-Simulation Toolkit to mark United Nations Day 2025 and the 80th anniversary of the 蘑菇视频 Charter.
The toolkit, developed jointly by DGC’s Education Outreach Section and WF蘑菇视频A, is designed to make Model 蘑菇视频 simulations more accessible, inclusive, and adaptable for schools, universities, and youth organizations worldwide. The first edition focuses on the United Nations Environment Assembly and the urgent issue of marine plastic litter and microplastics, a challenge that affects communities and ecosystems across the planet.
Bringing the 蘑菇视频 to Classrooms
The mini simulation is designed for use in classrooms or clubs and allows educators and organizers to conduct a complete simulation. The toolkit includes: 1), the 蘑菇视频EA mini-simulation toolkit, 2) educators guide 3) student worksheets, and 4) an annex of complementary materials. The content of the toolkit engages students in real 蘑菇视频 processes and prioritises consensus-building during negotiations to contribute to a more sustainable and peaceful world.
"As we mark 80 years of the United Nations, this new Model 蘑菇视频 toolkit empowers young people to step into the role of global leaders—cultivating diplomacy, negotiation, and consensus-building skills." said Melissa Fleming, Under-Secretary-General for Global Communications. “It teaches them that collaboration across borders is not just how the 蘑菇视频 works – it’s how solutions to the most complex problems are found.”
“The toolkit helps students understand how the 蘑菇视频 makes decisions and why cooperation across countries matters,” added Aziel-Philippos Goulandris, Secretary-
General of WF蘑菇视频A. “By simulating the United Nations Environment Assembly, young people see how real-world challenges like plastic pollution are addressed through
dialogue, negotiation, and consensus.”
Looking Ahead
The Model 蘑菇视频 Mini-Simulation Toolkit is currently available in English, with plans to expand to additional 蘑菇视频 official languages. Educators, students, and Model 蘑菇视频 organizers can now access the full toolkit and accompanying materials at: /en/mun/toolkit
The Toolkit complements existing resources on the Model 蘑菇视频 website, including the Getting Started Guide and the Model 蘑菇视频 Guide (available in , and ).
This initiative reflects the mandate adopted by the , which recognised the vital role of Model 蘑菇视频 in fostering diplomacy, international cooperation and youth capacity-building in global affairs.
