About the Course
Become a Global Leader
Our 20-week Model United Nations (MUN) program immerses students in the world of international relations, diplomacy, and global problem-solving. Designed for students aged 12-18, the course introduces participants to the structures and procedures of the United Nations, training them to represent different countries, negotiate with others, and debate pressing global issues. MUN is a unique experience that sharpens critical thinking, fosters empathy, and enhances public speaking—all skills that prepare students to thrive as future leaders.
What is Model United Nations, and Why is It Important?
Model United Nations is a simulation of the United Nations where students step into the roles of delegates from various countries to debate international policies and propose solutions to real-world problems. Through MUN, students learn about global issues, gain a deep understanding of diplomacy, and develop an appreciation for diverse perspectives. Participating in MUN fosters a sense of responsibility and prepares students for meaningful engagement in today’s interconnected world.
What Makes a Great MUN Delegate?
A successful MUN delegate combines knowledge with diplomacy. They have an in-depth understanding of the issues at hand, the position of their assigned country, and the perspectives of other countries. Great delegates are also effective communicators, able to persuade and negotiate while respecting diverse viewpoints. They navigate complex topics with confidence, adaptability, and a willingness to collaborate, making them invaluable contributors in MUN committees and beyond.
