Ever wonder exactly what MUN is? Well, we’re here to help! Watch our informational video to figure out the 5 stages of Model UN, and how it can help students learn valuable 21st-century skills like public speaking, research, and negotiation.
Model United Nations is an educational activity that empowers students to solve global problems.
Model UN simulations follow 5 key stages:
- Research: Students research assigned topics, countries, and committees
- Debate: Students make speeches to explain their country’s policy on the topic
- Negotiate: Students meet with one another to form small groups and work together
- Resolutions: Students write out the problems they want to solve and their proposed solutions
- Action: Students vote on their resolutions
By participating in Model United Nations, students learn:
- What are the biggest challenges facing the world today
- How to be more self-confident, especially with public speaking
- How to interact with other people who come from different backgrounds and perspectives
- How to work as a team to achieve shared goals
- How to take action to solve problems, on a local, national, and global scale
