Mini-MUN (SIS students only)

What is Mini-MUN?

Mini-MUN will take place at the same day as SISMUN for grades 6 and 7, using topics that connect to topics they are studying in school. Mini will also serve as an introduction for younger students to MUN. Use this as an opportunity to try debating, and think about how different countries can think in different ways!

This year's topics

Grade 6: Climate Justice

Climate change affects all of us and the world around us in different ways

A citizen's and country's wealth and resilience often decide the impact climate change has on people and societies.

This year, Grade 6 will discuss the UN Sustainable Development Goal #13 on Climate Action. The focus will be on climate justice and the interconnectedness of climate change, poverty, and human rights, and how these issues require a global perspective to be resolved.

How can the UN bring countries together in an effort to combat climate change and its impacts?

Grade 7: Diets and Digestion

A person’s health is influenced by cultural and conditional changes to diet

A person's health is shaped by cultural food traditions and the availability of nutritious options. Today, unequal access to food creates challenges like malnutrition and obesity, highlighting the need for better solutions to ensure healthy diets for all.

This year, Grade 7 will explore the physiological effects of nutrient deficiencies and imbalances on populations. The focus will include how socio-economic conditions in different countries influence dietary habits, leading to issues like undernutrition in famine-stricken regions or obesity and nutrient imbalances in areas with unbalanced diets.

How can the UN work together to help ensure a healthy diet for all?

Tips for Mini Delegates

Don't be nervous to present an opinion which is relevant in the discussion, you are here to discuss ideas and solutions!
Don't be scared of getting parlimentary procedure wrong, the chairs are here to help you learn!
If you have an idea for a solution, use unmoderated caucus to talk to your fellow delegates and get their opinion! Teamwork is what helps make a strong resolution!
Even if it feels uncomfortable to be speaking in front of everyone at first, make sure to speak clearly.
Make sure to know about the topic overall so that you can understand why your fellow delegates may have a different opinion!
If you want to discuss somehting with a delegate during a debate, you can pass notes. Use this wisely, because chairs will check the notes being passed
Make sure to enjoy yourself, and participate while still feeling comfortable. It's important to use this experience to learn more about MUN and the topic, but it is more important to make sure you don't push yourself too hard in debate. Everyone has different levels of experience, and that's okay!
