MODEL UNITED NATIONS
" A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. "
- by Lao Tzu
Model United Nations, also known as
MUN, is an educational simulation
in which learners learn and practice
about diplomacy, international
relations, and the United Nations. At
an MUN conference, learners work
as the representative of a country,
and must solve a problem with other
delegates from around the world.
MUN teaches participants research,
speaking, debating, and writing
skills, in addition to critical thinking,
teamwork, and leadership abilities.
It is meant to engage learners and
allow them to develop deeper
understanding into current world
issues.
The United Nations (UN) is a global
organization formed to promote
international cooperation. The
United Nations can make a move on
the challenges confronting mankind
in the twenty-first century, for
example, peace and security,
environmental change, reasonable
course of events, and basic
freedoms.
