Model United Nations

Model U.N. is a educational simulation and academic competition in which students utilize diplomacy and knowledge of international relations to solve real-world economic and political issues in a large-scale portrayal of the real United Nations. Model U.N. is a fun way to refine your skills in debate, public speaking along with peers, and it allows you to explore any interest you have in world affairs. No prior experience is necessary; teaching and support will be available to you every step of the way.

The mission of Model United Nations (MUN) is to help students understand global issues and the United Nations, and to prepare them to be active global citizens.
