A MUN is a simulation of an actual United Nations conference, where students are tasked with solving a global issue through research, drafting, lobbying and debate to pass a suitable‘resolution’.
Students take on the roles of delegates, speakers, and chairs, representing different countries and work together with other students from different backgrounds to take part in discussions and reach a solution for the agenda they are assigned.
The agendas or topics taken up during the MUNs are a reflection of real-world issues discussed by the United Nations. The entire process and discussion take place under formal ‘Rules of Procedure’ to truly model the format of the UN.
