We are introducing our popular Model United Nations programme to primary schools this September and would like to invite your school to participate. The MUN programme offers an exciting opportunity for learners in Grades 6 and 7 to explore global issues, develop 21st-century skills, and become confident, informed young leaders.
What is the Model United Nations (MUN)?
The Model United Nations is a simulation of the real United Nations, where learners act as delegates representing different countries. They debate global issues, deliver speeches, work together in teams, and write resolutions to solve real-world problems — all in a safe and structured environment. Participation helps students build critical 21st-century skills such as:
✅ Analytical thinking and research proficiency
✅ Public speaking and diplomatic engagement
✅ Global awareness and policy development
We are offering both a training workshop and a full conference to give students the tools and platform to thrive in MUN settings.
