What is Model UN?
|
Model UN members emulate the United Nations by taking on the role of diplomats and forming delegations to attend conferences. At these conferences, these student delegates debate international issues, give speeches, draft resolutions, form political alliances, and resolve international conflicts all from the perspective of their assigned country. In doing so, Model UN students learn about the problems that affect our world, expand their understanding of international relations, and develop as globally aware and socially concerned members of our community. |
