INT 405 (3 credits)

Program Objectives

   

Leadership: This is one of the most important components of this program, which provides the opportunity to lead, to take risks and to learn from success and failure. Students will learn to develop commitment through mutual responsibility and a common vision, a commitment that will be central to the learning experience in this program. Leadership and teamwork concepts will be taught and practiced in real experiences during the week of the Model Assembly, in which delegation members will be sharing a bond of mutual respect. Trinity's delegation will interact with other delegations while learning how to network with and provide information to key groups and individuals, and to appropriately use negotiation, persuasion, and authority in dealing with others to achieve common goals for all the American nations.

 
Commitment to Understand a Global Environment: MMOAS delegation members will learn to confront and interpret the most important contemporary issues and events taking place in the American Continent, thus growing in knowledge, global awareness, and responsibility towards each other.
 
Individual Growth: Participants are provided with the chance to integrate personal and professional life experiences. Students will also increase self-knowledge by developing the ability to exchange feedback and to control personal biases both inside and outside the delegation. Moreover, much more than acquiring facts, accessing information and listening to lectures, students will learn to interrelate, collaborate, discover, build and support each other while working to produce ambitious projects that are plainly meaningful outside the classroom.
