WHAT IS A MUN CONFERENCE?

Model United Nations conferences represent a simulation of the meetings taking place at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. The simulation takes place fully in english and tackles a variety of social, political and economic issues. Such events are created on a principle of „by students, for students” and are directed towards high-schoolers fond of diplomacy, economics, politics and international relations, students who want to expand their general knowledge and change the society in which we live.

The rules by which a MUN conference functions is easy: one can apply as a delegate by using an online form, and then, they will be consequently given a country to represent in a certain committee. The committee is the place in which the debates will take place.
