The Southern Ontario Model United Nations Assembly is a three-day international relations simulation for high school students held annually in downtown Toronto At SOMA, delegates gain a keen awareness of international relations within the wider community as well as a deep insight into the dynamics and inner mechanisms of the United Nations by assuming the roles of UN representatives and members of other international bodies. SOMA provides delegates with an opportunity to debate the important issues of our era, and draft resolutions in response. In this way, delegates will develop their ability to problem-solve and work with others who are equally motivated and passionate to deal with topics and issues of global concern.
