WHAT IS MODEL UNITED NATIONS?
Model United Nations (MUN) is an academic simulation of United Nations Conference, It's also a civic education activity organised for young people. During the activity, young people act as diplomatic delegates of different countries or other political realities. As delegates, they participate in discussion on international hot topics and solve problems with others. During the process of problem-solving, they must comply with the rules of conference while stating their position. Besides, they will also strive for the best interests of their assigned country in the discussion. During this process, they communicate, debate, consult and lobby with other delegates. They also propose solutions by working together in writing a resolution and finally, everyone vote and select the best solution for this hot topic.
In MUN, young people have the opportunity to become familiar with the operation, the international diplomatic communication skills as well as the contemporary hot topic of the United Nations by simulating the experience of the real United Nations scene. Besides, they will also exchange ideas by discussing with other students and try to solve the trending issue in their own way.
