Video: What is Model United Nations?

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

In Model United Nations, students learn to lead. Check out more of our resources here!
