What is Model United Nations?

  • Fully grasp the point of view of your assigned nation through research. Your own opinions must be replaced by the views informed by the culture and history of your represented nation.

  • Engage in debate with other delegates. Advocate for your nation’s proposed method of resolving the issue at hand. Make allies, and take note of your adversaries.

  • Convince your adversaries to join your side through compromise and diplomacy. Secure sponsors, signatories, and other voters for your draft resolutions and present them to the committee.

  • Develop your critical thinking skills. Explore how the concepts of culture, history, national interest, and geography intersect to define a nation’s perspective on world affairs.

  • Develop your public speaking skills while discussing a wide array of topics with other delegates. Learn how to write and give engaging speeches that convince others to work, and vote, with you.
