WHAT IS MUN?
Model United Nations (MUN) is an educational simulation and academic competition that replicates the workings of the United Nations. It provides students with an opportunity to engage in diplomatic and political discourse while representing different countries and debating various international issues. Participants, often referred to as delegates, take on the roles of diplomats representing specific countries or sometimes non-governmental organizations within a simulated UN committee. The aim is to research and understand their assigned country's stance on specific topics, collaborate with other delegates to draft resolutions, and engage in formal debates during conferences. MUN conferences are held globally, ranging from local events to large international gatherings, where students can enhance their public speaking, negotiation, and diplomatic skills. The simulation encourages a deeper understanding of international relations, diplomacy, and the complexities of global issues among students.
