During the first evening of the Kentucky United Nations Assembly, students have the opportunity to educate the rest of the conference on something that is unique to the country they are representing or that reflects the culture of that country in a meaningful way.

Delegations at KUNA who choose to do so should take care to ensure participating students understand that their performances are both a teaching tool and a resource for collaborative learning. Because this is the primary goal, it is particularly important that participants do research about their chosen performance piece and have gone to great lengths to understand respectful representations.

All performances should aim to inform and educate, bringing to light relevant cultural themes, resources, and/or current/historical issues of the nation.

Applications are due January 31, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. EST. Schools will be notified February 14, 2025 of the status of their application.

A video submission showing a rough draft of 20 seconds of the performance must be submitted to vontella@kyymca.org by February 7th, 2025 for your application to be considered complete.
