About MUN

What is MUN?

Model United Nations is a roleplay, simulating United Nations committee work.  MUN takes place at a conference that is typically organised on a high school or University level.

Process

Every student is assigned a country - thus becoming a delegate of a country. 

There are 5 stages to follow (Best Delegate):

• Research: Students research assigned topics, countries, and committees (position paper)

• 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

Position Paper

A position paper is a brief summary of the position of the country's delegates on the topics to be discussed during a conference.

Best Delegate: How to write a winning position paper.

Resolutions

Resolutions are the committee's actions (or recommendations) which is produced and debated by attending delegates during a conference. 

Best Delegate: How to write a resolution.

Dress code

Participants are expected to dress formally during the conference.
