August 12 - August 14

unesco t

Third International Model UNESCO is an educational event in which participants play the role of representatives of UNESCO Member-States, simulating meetings that take place within the organization. Students participating in this simulation are introduced to the work and purposes of UNESCO. They gain insight into international issues and get acquainted with its key priorities.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds promise in tackling significant education challenges, revolutionizing teaching and learning methods, and advancing progress toward SDG 4. Nevertheless, the rapid advancement of technology presents various challenges and risks, surpassing the ongoing policy discussions and regulatory structures. UNESCO is dedicated to aiding Member States in leveraging AI’s potential for realizing the Education 2030 Agenda, while ensuring its application in education adheres to principles of inclusivity and fairness.

UNESCO’s mission inherently advocates for a people-centered approach to AI. It seeks to broaden the dialogue to encompass AI’s role in addressing existing inequalities in knowledge accessibility, research opportunities, and cultural diversity, while preventing it from exacerbating technological disparities within and among nations. The vision of “AI for all” must ensure that everyone can partake in the ongoing technological revolution and reap its benefits, particularly in terms of innovation and knowledge dissemination.

The main goal of the project, supported by UNESCO, National Commission of the Republic of Kazakhstan for UNESCO and ICESCO and UNESCO Almaty Regional Office is to provide an opportunity for participants to become representatives of certain countries and defend their interests in front of other participating delegates, forming effective communication skills as well as to expand their knowledge on a topic of AI and UNESCO’s key principals and approaches towards it.

Model UNESCO includes: 

  • Two sessions featuring strategy proposals, Q&A sessions, and resolution voting;

  • Online webinars with UNESCO and other organizations’ experts;

  • Final session showcasing resolution creation and awards for “Best Idea & Approach,” “Best Speaker,” and “Best Presentation”.
