MUN (Model of United Nations) is a simulation of the United Nations. Students represent various member states and/or organisations, and try to solve world problems by producing resolutions in specific committees. The project of participating and organizing a MUN helps students to acquire and perfect debating skills and procedures, but also raises young people's awareness of the global issues and allows them to improve their written and spoken English. Despite all the rules and procedures, MUN is a fun project and should be treated as such ; it is by no means to stress its participants.
We are the MUN club from the school "Institut de la Providence", Champion, Namur, composed by 30 students from the age of 15 years old. Our club has been run by one of our foreign language teachers and Erasmus+ coordinator at school, Florian Coheur. Our club has 2 presidents : Marine Lagneau and Lou-Isa Bourtembourg.
Our first goal is to give a chance to our students to learn about geopolitics, communication and debating skills. We would like to give all our students the chance to discover countries from all over Europe and learn from this wonderful and unique experience that is MUN.
