WHAT IS MODEL UN?
Dynamic Learning
Model United Nations (Model UN) is an engaging, hands-on opportunity for students to explore global issues and develop critical skills. By stepping into the roles of diplomats and world leaders, students debate international policies, negotiate with allies and adversaries, resolve conflicts, draft resolutions, and navigate formal procedures—all with the goal of fostering cooperation to tackle some of the world's most pressing challenges
Life & Leadership Skills
Model UN is more than just a simulation—it’s a transformative experience that equips students with skills they’ll use for life. Participants sharpen their abilities in research, news literacy, critical thinking, public speaking, persuasive debate, diplomatic negotiation, and cultural awareness. By learning about real-world policies and global development strategies, students gain the confidence and knowledge to become changemakers at the local, national, and international levels.
