"What I love about Model United Nations is that it encourages you to analyse world issues from all perspectives, and by doing so, you gain a broader understanding of the current geopolitical system."
- Mitchell Wood
2022 WUDFA President & Conference Director
"Public speaking is nerve-racking, but MUN is a great place to practice - pretending you're a delegate with all the confidence of a country backing your arguments no matter what helps remove that feeling. Even if you fumble or say the wrong thing, there's no laughing or judgment since everyone else can and probably will make those same little mistakes. I enjoy MUN because it gave me a safe space to practice my public speaking skills, and it could be for you too!"
- Brodie Knox
2022 Treasurer & Conference Director
"I love how Model United Nations offers us a forum within which we can discuss, debate and decide on big issues in a safe and supportive learning space. The entire concept is just thrilling and I am always really looking forward to GongMUN!"
- Yashodhara Peiris
2022 Director of Model United Nations
"I took the subject INTS200 when classes returned to campus, and I absolutely loved it. It was a great way to meet like-minded people, develop public speaking and research skills, and led me to find a new passion. GongMUN was a great experience, and being able to co-direct a MUN event taught me so many vital skills. Highly recommend getting involved with WUDFA MUN events!"
- Kyra Upton
2022 WUDFA Secretary
"The best social aspect of MUN is the opportunity to meet and interact with new people and travel to new places. Whether it be overseas or interstate, my experience has led to wonderful, lifelong friendships. It gives you the fantastic opportunity to network with like-minded students from all sorts of diverse academic and personal backgrounds."
- Fatima Zia
Former WUDFA Secretary
"Model UN forces you to think flexibly and quickly all the while maintaining composure and professionalism ... it allows you to gain confidence in your oral communication skills, broaden your understanding of the international political landscape and sharpen your problem solving skills."
- Emily O'Loughlin
Former WUDFA President
"Many people would probably look at MUN and think 'that's only for law/politics kids' but it's the complete opposite. You get people coming to MUN from commerce and economics to engineering and science. They're often the most underestimated delegates and frequently win awards."
- Josh Chalmers
Award-winning delegate
