- Focused Topics: We will concentrate on a single topic per session, allowing for in-depth exploration and the development of comprehensive, written resolutions.

- Top caterers will provide snacks and refreshments at both the MUN workshops and conferences.
What is the Model United Nations?
The Model United Nations (MUN) is a vibrant academic simulation of the real United Nations. High school learners take on the roles of diplomats representing countries across the globe. Together, they debate urgent global issues — like trade wars, refugee crises, and climate change — and work toward drafting resolutions through negotiation, teamwork, and diplomacy.
By stepping into the shoes of world leaders, students build powerful skills in public speaking, critical thinking, research, collaboration, and global awareness — all while having fun and making lasting friendships.
