Okay, so congratulations to everyone, UN Women Too.
00:00:45
Okay, we now call upon the chair.
00:00:50
Yes, go ahead.
00:00:53
We call upon the chair of UN Women Too, Rosalind.
00:00:54
Thank you.
00:01:07
Should we do a shakeout?
00:01:08
Baby shark, maybe?
00:01:09
No?
00:01:11
So I'm Rosalind.
00:01:12
I was the chair of UN Women Too.
00:01:14
We had an extremely productive committee,
00:01:15
and I was extremely impressed by the sheer number of ideas
00:01:18
and the thoughtfulness and depth of the resolutions.
00:01:21
We passed both resolutions in our room,
00:01:25
one unanimously and one with 16 out of 17 delegations voting yay.
00:01:27
The first focused on acknowledging the massive inequalities
00:01:32
in basic education in developing countries.
00:01:36
One delegation said it best when they said,
00:01:39
giving scholarships for STEM education does not matter
00:01:42
if women cannot read or even have access to a computer.
00:01:45
Our second resolution centered on the importance
00:01:50
of increasing representation of women in the workplace
00:01:53
through blind hiring practices and illegalizing pay gaps.
00:01:55
I was impressed by the intelligent conversation
00:02:01
about intersectionality and the need to recognize
00:02:04
all kinds of diversity in STEM careers
00:02:06
that took place in our room.
00:02:09
Overall, our room focused on building strong foundations
00:02:11
needed for women, communities, and all countries to thrive.
00:02:14
Building a strong foundation for your future
00:02:20
is exactly what Global Classrooms is all about.
00:02:21
One delegation said today, the delegation from Kenya,
00:02:25
said that Global Classrooms has taken them out of their box
00:02:28
and forced them to see everything from a different perspective.
00:02:31
This is exactly what it is supposed to do.
00:02:35
Please keep challenging yourself to think creatively
00:02:38
to solve the world's biggest issues,
00:02:40
and continue to ask questions.
00:02:43
It is so important to be curious about the world.
00:02:45
And as you all know, when in doubt,
00:02:48
just ask how are you going to get the money for that.
00:02:50
Please use your confidence, energy, and passion
00:02:55
to one day implement the brilliant ideas developed this year.
00:02:58
Thank you.
00:03:02
Thank you, Rosalind.
00:03:03
All right, for the awards for UN Women 2,
00:03:10
Best Position Paper, Dominican Republic,
00:03:13
Second Honorable Mention, Morocco,
00:03:17
First Honorable Mention, Kenya, and Best Delegation, Thailand.
00:03:19
Congratulations.
00:03:23
And to present the awards, we call upon Mr. Benjamin Ziff,
00:03:34
Encargado de Negocios Ad Interim, Embajada de Estados Unidos.
00:03:40
Wonderful.
00:06:21
And now we are going to announce UN Women, Room Number 3.
00:06:21
First of all, Joe Joseph, chaired by Joe Joseph.
00:06:28
All right. Hi, everybody.
00:06:36
Hi.
00:06:47
My name is Joe.
00:06:49
I'm a language assistant at Galileo Galilei High School.
00:06:51
There they are. I told them not to scream.
00:06:55
And I also had the honor of serving as chair for the UN Women Committee 3 today.
00:06:58
In my committee, I was blown away by the level of energy and excitement,
00:07:04
especially regarding a topic so crucial in the advancement of global gender equity.
00:07:10
Together, we discussed issues ranging from the effect of workplace sexual harassment
00:07:18
on the retention of women in STEM and ICT careers,
00:07:25
the need to establish stronger baselines of educational achievement,
00:07:29
for young women across the world and the intersectional struggles that women of
00:07:34
color face in STEM fields. Throughout our debate, I was captivated by the
00:07:40
creativity I witnessed coming from students of all genders who are
00:07:47
committed to this vital issue. From a personal standpoint, today is a bit
00:07:52
emotional for me as it marks the end of my three-year involvement with the
00:07:59
global classrooms program and I may or may not have been crying during the
00:08:04
student speeches so honestly I couldn't imagine a better group of students with
00:08:09
whom to celebrate this occasion and I have to give a shout out to my first of
00:08:17
SO students who are here with me today and yes I still think of them as first
00:08:21
of ESO students because we started this global classrooms journey together when I joined
00:08:25
my high school at the same time that they did.
00:08:31
Thank you all for making this day so special for me.
00:08:36
I want to also extend my appreciation to Lily, Chiara, Pablo, and everyone who made this
00:08:39
program possible.
00:08:45
Believe it or not, I'm really going to miss editing position papers, memorizing parliamentary
00:08:48
procedure and arriving at CRIFACACIAS before the sun has even risen.
00:08:53
But what I will miss the most are all of you, the Global Classrooms participants, this year,
00:09:00
for your dedication, your passion, and for helping me to believe that the future lies
00:09:08
in the hands of empathetic people who will fight for the rights of those who are most
00:09:14
marginalized, and will carry on a continual march toward progress. I hope that you carry this
00:09:20
passion forward with you in all of your endeavors, and you reflect tirelessly on how to improve the
00:09:28
world that you are a part of. Congratulations to all of you once again. With that being said,
00:09:36
the awards for UN3, UNW3. Best position paper goes to Somalia. Second honorable mention
00:09:52
goes to Ireland. First honorable mention goes to Chile. And best delegation goes to the
00:10:01
Dominican Republic. And to present the awards, we have Catherine Matlis.
00:10:10
Okay. We now call upon the chair of UN Women for Alicia.
00:10:30
All right. Yay. Thank you, honorable chair and esteemed delegates. Today, I'm here to talk about the topic. Just kidding.
00:13:09
My name is Alicia, and I was a GCLA this year, and I'm so excited to be here today.
00:13:26
As I was thinking about what I wanted to say and how I wanted to reflect on these past
00:13:35
few months, I was thinking more and more about what it means to be a global citizen, because
00:13:40
it's so easy for us to get caught up in the ups and downs of our daily lives and kind
00:13:48
of ignore the bubble like everything outside of the bubbles that we're living in and it hurts us
00:13:55
so much less when we don't have to think about the world's big problems and I think that's why
00:14:02
to me being a global citizen is to look at the world around you even when it's easier to look
00:14:08
away and that's what global classrooms allows us to do is we are allowed to learn these tools
00:14:17
and contribute to the world and learn about it
00:14:25
in a way that looks beyond just ourselves.
00:14:29
And I think that's so cool.
00:14:32
I don't know if you guys think that's cool, but I really do.
00:14:33
And I am not afraid to admit that big problems sometimes really overwhelm me.
00:14:37
I mean, how am I, a singular person,
00:14:42
supposed to find the balance between economic growth and resource efficiency?
00:14:47
how am I supposed to seal the leaky pipeline to stem fields I can't but together through global
00:14:51
classrooms and other avenues we can work together and solve these big world issues little by little
00:15:01
and so today in UN women's four that was my committee we got to see our global citizens in
00:15:09
action. We heard ideas about changing the way we advertise children's toys in stores
00:15:20
to try to make them more gender neutral. We talked about funding summer camps. So many
00:15:29
summer camps and scholarships. And we talked about women helping women and lifting each
00:15:38
other up. And before today, I didn't realize that hot pink could be formal wear, and then I saw
00:15:46
the delegation of Oman's earrings, and I realized that you definitely can pull off hot pink even in
00:15:55
a formal setting. But what I was most impressed by, truly, was the intense arm workouts that you
00:16:03
all did today with your placard raising. It was genuinely, I don't understand like how you could
00:16:12
do it because I don't have that kind of arm strength. And I just want to take a moment to
00:16:20
kind of allow you to reflect on the journey that got you here today. Think about that first day of
00:16:31
class when you learned what the general assembly was and think about now you're all here
00:16:36
representing your school and honestly some of the best that Spain has to offer
00:16:45
and all of this is because of your drive and passion and preparation and your love for global
00:16:50
classrooms and so you should be so so proud of yourselves and take a moment of course to thank
00:16:59
your teachers and your language assistants because you will not believe, I say this from personal
00:17:05
experience, the amount, the number of hours we've spent thinking about you when you're definitely
00:17:10
not thinking about us. We've all wanted you to succeed and you have gone above and beyond our
00:17:17
expectations, truly. And I honestly cannot wait to see what you have in store for us. And with that,
00:17:25
I motion to adjourn this speech, but I want to congratulate you all again.
00:17:32
Thank you so much.
00:17:37
Okay, wonderful.
00:17:46
And now to announce the awards for UN Women for
00:17:49
Best Position Paper, Greece,
00:17:56
Second Honorable Mention, USA,
00:18:00
First Honorable Mention, Iran,
00:18:04
And Best Delegation, Sweden.
00:18:07
To hand out the awards, we call upon Ruth Horsfall from the British Council.
00:18:17
Okay, thank you.
00:21:07
We now call upon the chair of UN Women No. 5, which is Jack.
00:21:09
Wow, they raised the podium for me.
00:21:29
That's nice.
00:21:32
Over the past six months, I've seen so much growth in the abilities of global classroom students.
00:21:32
In our committee today, we passed two resolutions, one unanimously,
00:21:40
about promoting gender equity in education and protecting women in the labor force.
00:21:45
I was blown away by the respect and creativity I saw from you all today.
00:21:50
It cannot be overstated how important this experience is.
00:21:56
Even if you don't think of yourself as the leader of tomorrow,
00:22:00
the value of your research skills, knowledge, knowledge of international
00:22:03
politics, and ability to respectfully debate, argue, and compromise will not
00:22:08
only make your lives as individuals easier, but they will help the lives of
00:22:13
everyone you know. Six months ago, who knew what a sustainable development goal was?
00:22:17
Not me. Who knew how to debate or publicly speak in front of 30 random
00:22:24
strangers? Who had the mountain of knowledge you now have about everything from resource efficiency
00:22:31
to the complexities of wage gaps and representation of women in STEM? Who knew how to do the cha-cha
00:22:38
slide? The people I saw today had committed their minds to rigorous research, dazzling debates,
00:22:46
and some outstanding outfits. Except for you, the delegation from the United States.
00:22:54
Your shoes were untied for like four hours, but I didn't want to break the quorum.
00:23:00
In all sincerity, the thing I was most impressed about today were your hearts.
00:23:05
In a competition like this, it is easy to try to be concerned about how many points you will score,
00:23:10
how smart you sound, or how much you can commit to your country's character.
00:23:16
However, delegation after delegation, and speech after speech, I was blown away by everyone's compassion.
00:23:22
You guys have heard a lot today about how all the skills you've gained in researching, debating, communicating, and compromising,
00:23:29
but none of that means anything without having hearts and compassion.
00:23:39
I'm really proud of you for those skills, but I'm even more excited for the future for you guys to use your hearts.
00:23:44
Thank you.
00:23:51
Thank you, Jack. I'm glad we raised the platform.
00:23:56
All right, now for the awards in UNW5, Best Position Paper, Oman, Second Honorable Mention, China, First Honorable Mention, France, and Best Delegation, Saudi Arabia.
00:23:59
And to give out the awards, Doña Mercedes Marín, Directora General de Bilingüismo y Calidad de la Enseñanza.
00:24:25
Okay, and last but not least, for UN Women's 6, Ms. Emma Watson.
00:24:32
Hi, everyone. My name's Emma.
00:27:48
You heard Emma Watson, the actress.
00:27:50
And I was the chair today in UN Women's 6.
00:27:53
Although my students are not here today,
00:27:57
I was so very excited to participate again as a chair in this final conference
00:27:59
because Global Classrooms has been such an incredible growing experience,
00:28:03
both for me and for my students.
00:28:06
To me, Global Classrooms has been all about community.
00:28:08
It's been about building a community within our own schools,
00:28:13
about building a broader community across Madrid
00:28:16
as we come together to discuss critical topics like resource efficiency and women in STEM,
00:28:18
and it's been about building a group of students
00:28:24
who are more aware of the global community in which we are all living.
00:28:26
Today, I've been lucky enough to witness this incredible community once again.
00:28:31
I've seen you working together, challenging yourselves and others to think critically,
00:28:35
and supporting each other's ideas as you created peaceful solutions to the complex issues of women's participation in STEM and ICT.
00:28:39
In UNW6 today, we had a few standout moments that I wanted to share with you.
00:28:47
We had a really creative idea from Greece to implement a STEM Olympics every year
00:28:52
where students aged 13 to 17 will participate to encourage other students about the sciences.
00:28:56
Mexico wants to increase men in social fields and women in STEM through exchange field trips.
00:29:03
China and South Africa want to implement summer camps, as many of you want to, to teach about technology.
00:29:09
And Turkey even showed us a mini computer that he brought to the conference that only costs 40 bucks.
00:29:15
So if you find Turkey after, he can show you the mini computer.
00:29:21
I hope you can carry with you all this passion and creativity that you showed us today
00:29:26
during the debates far beyond your years in secondary school.
00:29:29
You all found your stride today and truly shined.
00:29:32
We're so proud of you for the hard work that you've put in over the course of many months,
00:29:35
many position papers, and many speeches.
00:29:39
Seeing you all be so supportive, be inclusive, and be innovative
00:29:42
has truly made GC the most special part of my experience as a language assistant.
00:29:45
I hope that it's been special to you as well.
00:29:50
I hope that 10 years from now, you'll look back upon this experience with pride
00:29:52
and remember the incredible community that you helped to build
00:29:55
through your participation in global classrooms.
00:29:58
So congratulations, everyone.
00:30:00
All right, and now the awards for UNW6.
00:30:09
Best Position Paper, Saudi Arabia.
00:30:14
Second Honorable Mention, South Africa.
00:30:19
First Honorable Mention, Germany.
00:30:22
Best Delegation, USA.
00:30:24
And to give out the award, Mr. Benjamin Ziff, please.
00:30:38
OK, and now the final speech is going
00:33:09
to be given by two very well-known people, Lily Roth and Karen Castro. They are Fulbright
00:33:15
ETAs, mentors, and they have been the coordinators of this year's conference. They've done teacher
00:33:27
training. They've taught 140 GCLAs. They've found positions for you. They've named you.
00:33:34
they've organized, they've done everything.
00:33:42
They've even caught some mistakes I've made
00:33:44
and corrected them before they were executed.
00:33:48
So thank you, you have all our gratitude, Lily and Kiara.
00:33:50
Hello, everyone.
00:34:04
I'm gonna apologize for my voice.
00:34:06
We really gave this our all, and this is the result.
00:34:08
But I have found the silver lining
00:34:12
of having a voice like this,
00:34:14
is I can turn on the emotion at the drop of a hat.
00:34:15
So I'd like to thank the Academy,
00:34:19
I'd like to thank Global Classrooms for all of the work you've done.
00:34:21
Anyway, I'm going to try to make it through this,
00:34:25
and I might have to turn it over to Kiara to read my parts
00:34:27
if it doesn't go as planned.
00:34:31
So, hi, everyone.
00:34:35
Standing up here, we realize that many of you,
00:34:39
namely the delegates, probably have no idea who we are.
00:34:42
And we also realize that many of you,
00:34:46
namely the GCLAs and your teachers, have far too much of an idea of who we are.
00:34:49
So for those of us who we haven't had the pleasure of meeting in person,
00:34:56
my name is Lily Roth, this is Kiara Nicastro,
00:35:00
and we have had the immense pleasure of serving as the coordinators
00:35:04
for this year's Global Classrooms Conference.
00:35:08
All right, I thought I'd share a little story to begin.
00:35:12
So when I was 14, 13, I could never imagine being here.
00:35:16
I mean, look around.
00:35:21
Like, the ceiling itself is pretty incredible if you haven't looked up yet.
00:35:22
So if you were to hand me Hermione Granger's time turner
00:35:27
and were to transport me back in time to have a conversation with myself,
00:35:31
I wouldn't believe it.
00:35:35
This is incredible.
00:35:37
When I was your age, I was just recently diagnosed with severe learning disabilities
00:35:39
and also entering my own school's Model United Nations program.
00:35:44
And it honestly changed my life.
00:35:49
I only attended one conference and represented the country of Lebanon.
00:35:51
Woo-hoo!
00:35:56
And I was hooked.
00:35:56
From then on, I went on studying the world and foreign cultures,
00:35:58
and it pushed me towards activism and social justice.
00:36:02
This passion for social justice and cross-cultural learning
00:36:06
serves to the basis and the ideas of what persuaded both Lily and I
00:36:09
to apply to be the mentors and be here today.
00:36:14
And let me tell you, believe it or not,
00:36:17
we have seen all sides of global classrooms at this point.
00:36:20
From when we started, it was my first year in Spain.
00:36:24
I had never had tortilla, believe it or not.
00:36:27
I'm from California.
00:36:30
We don't, our tortillas are with Mexican food,
00:36:32
not with eggs and potatoes, maybe onions, you know.
00:36:34
But yeah, it was our first year in Spain.
00:36:39
and we were GCLA's just like many of you for the first time and we got a taste of
00:36:41
global classrooms and we couldn't stop eating just like tortilla so this year
00:36:47
we've watched all of you grow we've watched your GCLA's grow and we've
00:36:54
watched many of your teachers who this may be their first time doing global
00:36:57
classrooms grow into who they are today and so when Kiara and I sat down at the
00:37:01
beginning of the year this is after we got to go to New York with these
00:37:08
incredible students that we have behind us who gave some pretty phenomenal
00:37:12
speeches it's difficult to follow that after we had the opportunity to watch
00:37:16
them just perform outstandingly in a room full of 16 17 18 year olds and
00:37:22
completely hold their own and and reflect on what global classrooms is and
00:37:29
what we wanted from this year as we were going to lead the program we talked
00:37:34
about it, and we decided that the thing that we wanted to hold on to this year with global
00:37:39
classrooms was the sense of joy that comes through the program. And I think we can all agree that GC
00:37:45
is challenging. It's really hard sometimes, and it's hard to teach, and it's hard to learn.
00:37:53
Research is difficult, especially in a language that's not your own when it's these intense
00:38:01
academic sources, writing position papers, doing all the procedural stuff, moderated caucuses,
00:38:05
unmoderated caucuses. And so we understand that stuff gets pretty heavy. And we also understand
00:38:14
that the content itself is really heavy. And I think both of us, you know, we're not that much
00:38:22
older than all the delegates here. And that rhetoric that's like, that talks about the world
00:38:27
and the state it's in and how it's our responsibility
00:38:33
to be the generation to fix it, right?
00:38:36
We're both really impacted by that too, and that's a weight.
00:38:39
And so what we helped this year with Global Classrooms
00:38:44
is that we could face that weight head on, but with a sense of joy.
00:38:47
And the joy really comes from community,
00:38:54
and it comes from the relationships that we've had such a pleasure to form
00:38:57
throughout the course of this year.
00:39:01
So with that being said, there's a lot of people that we have to thank and a lot of people that we want to celebrate here right now.
00:39:03
Yeah, we have built our community here in Spain.
00:39:12
I wouldn't even go a step further and say many of you have become our family and we wouldn't be able to do with what we do without you.
00:39:15
First of all, the GCLA is like, wow, amazing.
00:39:25
like the amount of emails your gclas received from us on how to do lesson plans on how to volunteer
00:39:29
for the different positions at the conference they received loads and loads of emails and put
00:39:43
in lots of extra hour and some of their own personal time to be here today and to create
00:39:50
the experiences that you have all gone through so don't forget to give your gcla an extra hug
00:39:55
or a high five at the end of this as a huge thank you to them.
00:40:00
The other thing I want to talk about are the Hornadas.
00:40:05
Teachers who spent their time after school coming to our Hornadas,

GCLA's who missed school and sometimes showed up sick to our Hornadas
00:40:12
just to learn all the knowledge that we were trying to help share with all of you.
00:40:18
So huge thank you for attending those and making them possible.
00:40:22
The next thing I want to, the lifers like Joe,
00:40:27
and also to our new GCLA's thank you we're so we wouldn't be here again without their knowledge
00:40:30
as we said we've only done this one year so this is our second year so we are nowhere near as have
00:40:37
as much resources as they do and the last thing I wanted to say a special shout out to our evaluators
00:40:43
they spent lots of time evaluating each of you making sure that everyone had fair grades some
00:40:51
of them were not meant to work and would left school and had to take the train or a cab to
00:40:58
make sure that they got to here on time because someone else had fallen sick or something like
00:41:03
that. So huge thank you to our evaluators and also to our chairs. Okay. Yeah, we can clap. That's
00:41:07
great. It's the end. We can do a lot of clapping. So in addition to the language assistants and the
00:41:17
teachers. GC is such a collaborative program and it takes really strong, supportive teachers
00:41:29
just as much as it takes really strong GCLA. So we're so lucky to have that foundation
00:41:35
because this wouldn't be possible without it. We'd also like to thank the ministry. We'd like to
00:41:40
thank Fulbright and all the support that we've received. We worked really closely with Pablo
00:41:47
Cantero, and let me tell you that he cares about this program so much. He really, really cares about
00:41:53
it, and that's evident every day when he comes to work, and how eager he is to talk about it, to get
00:42:03
feedback, and to figure out how we can make it better. So if you see him, make sure to tell him
00:42:07
Thank you.
00:42:14
So we've been lucky to have the support of Pablo Eftrini
00:42:23
and of all the Consejeria.
00:42:27
We've been there several times
00:42:30
throughout the course of the year.
00:42:32
We'd like to thank Ben and Kathy, of course,
00:42:34
from the Fulbright Commission,
00:42:36
who have also provided a lot of support
00:42:38
through the unexpected twists and turns of this year.
00:42:40
We'd like to thank the U.S. Embassy for being here
00:42:43
and for providing a lot of the funds for New York,
00:42:46
which is an amazing thing, and to the British Council and the Assemblea as well.
00:42:48
So thank you to all of our partners.
00:42:54
Yes, thank you.
00:42:57
So we'll end on one note, which is what struck me the most throughout all of this,
00:43:05
and I think is really evident from the speeches here today to both of us,
00:43:12
is that all of these people here care about you so much.
00:43:16
They really do.
00:43:21
and they are so excited and overjoyed and touched by all of your successes and triumphs
00:43:22
and challenges big and small. And so let that be something that you keep in your mind as you go
00:43:29
forward and you continue on in your global classrooms journey even if global classrooms
00:43:36
might not continue on technically from here on out. And so as you continue on in that journey
00:43:41
whichever way it takes you, as you find your cause, your purpose,
00:43:47
the little space in which you want to make it done in the world,
00:43:51
let that care and that community buoy you and take you onward.
00:43:54
So thank you so much, guys.
00:43:59
Well, everything has its end.
00:44:02
And I want to conclude by thanking the Assemblea de Madrid again,
00:44:18
a los representantes de las instituciones,
00:44:24
a los profesores auxiliares de conversación
00:44:28
y a todos los delegados que habéis trabajado duro
00:44:31
para llegar hasta aquí.
00:44:34
Y despidiéndonos hasta el año que viene,
00:44:37
damos por clausurada
00:44:41
la edición número 14 de Global Classrooms.
00:44:43
Gracias.
00:45:01
Esteemed delegates, the Assemblea is giving us a ten minute courtesy period if anybody
00:45:04
wishes to take a final photo in the Assemblea or the tribuna and otherwise we will see you
00:45:38
again soon, okay?
00:45:46
Ten minutes, we have to be out.
00:45:48
Thank you.
