Model United Nations

Model United Nations is a debate and simulation activity which allows students to learn about world issues while improving public speaking, negotiation and research skills.

Students typically take the role of a specific country and participate within a single committee modeled after real-world bodies, such as the Special Political Committee or World Health Organization. Each committee chooses one or more topics which students will receive beforehand, for which they must research and prepare their country's position prior to the conference. Then, at the conference, delegates act as representatives of their nation, attempting to pass United Nations resolutions through debate and negotiation with their fellow students.
