What is the Model United Nations?
The Model United Nations is a simulation of the United Nations General Assembly. Delegates debate global issues, draft resolutions, negotiate with allies, and work towards international cooperation. The MUN helps students develop public speaking, diplomacy, negotiation, critical thinking, and leadership skills while gaining a deeper understanding of world affairs.
