Promoting peace through education 2 006 ANNUAL REPORT

REFLECTIONS| Executive Director

The National Collegiate Conference Association (NCCA) achieves its mission to further understanding of the United Nations and contemporary problems through experience-based learning opportunities.

Our conference, the world’s largest simulation of the United Nations, provides a forum for learning about the United Nations and a wide range of contemporary international issues. Participants leave with the insights needed to become better global citizens and the next generation of international leaders.

Cooperative, hands-on learning is our guiding principle. In pre- conference preparation, as well as during committees and hallway caucuses at the conference, students confront a range of topics that they must view from the perspective of their assigned country or non- governmental organization. Through these experiences, culminating in plenary sessions at UN Headquarters in New York, students develop an appreciation of the perspectives of other peoples, the frustration of NCCA negotiation, the rewards of cooperation, and a broader view of the human side of international relations and diplomacy. VISION The more than 3,400 university students and 220 faculty from five STATEMENT continents that attended various NCCA programs in 2005-2006 benefited A world from our continuing work to sustain educational quality and strengthen linkages with the United Nations. Looking ahead, we are at work to comprised promote an ever more diverse group of volunteer staff, delegate and of civically faculty participants.
