Model Arctic Council for sustainable development

I argue that Model Arctic Council (MAC) has a role to play in sustainable development. Like the better-known United Nations (MUN), MAC is form of simulation pedagogy, an experiential learning process which secondary-school pupils or university students comprehend nature and importance complex issues such as development by imagining themselves diplomats trying negotiate common approach them. After demonstrating educational value diplomatic simulations general, introduce MUN its most popular form, assess case-study global program designed advance knowledge action among youth respect UN Sustainable Development Goals. This case-study, taken together with structure, subject-matter itself, strongly suggests can be used both non-Arctic development, including understanding how notion contested general contextualized Arctic. Combining this analysis professional experience, offer practical recommendations educators about effective design use other pedagogies.
