United Nations Schools of International Learning

In the past four years, fourteen Milwaukee Public Schools have integrated a revolutionary curriculum program, Untied Nations Schools of International Learning, established by a grant from a Greater Milwaukee Foundation donor who has spent a lifetime working for World Peace, World Law and Peace Education. The program combines World Studies and Model United Nations at the elementary and middle school levels.

The innovative program – United Nations Schools of International Learning (UNSIL) – incorporates world studies and Model United Nations content at the elementary and middle school levels. It was established by a $100,000 gift from the Foundation’s Annette J. Roberts and Joan R. Robertson Fund for World Peace, World Law and Peace Education.

Students from 13 MPS schools took charge of the UWM Panther Arena on April 11 to share their knowledge of countries across the globe. Student displays included photos, maps, and important facts about each country and culture. Projects dug deep to explore the strengths and challenges of each nation and the role each country plays in its region or continent. The world fair was the culmination of the year’s United Nations Schools of International Learning (UNSIL) program, which is implemented in 13 MPS schools.
