PRESIDENT LEONEL FERNANDEZ PRAISES THE IMPACT ACCOMPLISHED BY THE UN ASSOCIATION IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC (UNA-DR)
Monday, May 14. During the closing ceremony of CILA 2005, President Leonel Fernández highlighted the impact accomplished by the UN Association in the Dominican Republic on thousands of students from countries such as Argentina, Nepal, Netherlands, Ecuador, Mexico and the Dominican Republic, among other. He commented that by participating in this program "students developed important skills such that of reflection and analytical thinking".
| President Fernandez also mentioned that the Model UN program coordinated by UNA-DR helps students have a different vision of the World. It also allows them to formulate resolutions and create their own criteria in order to interpret current affairs. Also, President Fernandez highlighted the fact that students feel more engaged in the transformation process of their countries and that of the world. |
