Jakarta, June 28th 2014 – Jakarta Model United Nations (JakartaMUN) 2014 wrapped up and left deep memories in the heart of every participant and also the organizing committees. After the opening with Mr. Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, Executive Task of Governor of DKI Jakarta in the first day, the second day of JakartaMUN 2014 which held on June 24th 2014 hit the first session of Model United Nations series. The event was started with the Conference Zero as the place for the first-timer participants who have not experienced MUN to learn deeply about the art of diplomacy and negotiation in ModelUN. The topics chosen for Conference Zero were very diverse and popular, such as the topic of superhero and movie, so that the participants were easy to understand on how MUN works.
