Participants research global issues, prepare positions based on their assigned country’s policies, and debate solutions with other delegates. MUN helps students develop critical thinking, public speaking, negotiation, and leadership skills. It encourages teamwork and promotes awareness of international relations and the challenges the world faces. Students gain a deeper understanding of diplomacy, global affairs, and the decision-making processes that shape international policies.

To participate in a Model United Nations (MUN) conference, a strong command of English is important, but it doesn't need to be perfect. You should be able to communicate effectively, both in speaking and writing, as MUN conferences are conducted entirely in English. Delegates need to express their country's positions clearly, engage in debates, and draft resolutions. While advanced fluency is helpful, particularly for complex negotiations, basic proficiency in English can still allow you to participate, as long as you're comfortable expressing ideas, following discussions, and asking for clarification when needed. Confidence and a willingness to learn are key to success in MUN, regardless of your language level.
