GIET MODEL UNITED NATIONS SOCIETY
M-U-N is F-U-N! A MUN is a simulation of an actual United Nations conference. Students are tasked with solving a global issue through research, drafting, lobbying, and debate to pass a suitable 'resolution'. Students take on the roles of delegates, speakers, and chairs, representing different countries and working together with other students from different backgrounds to participate in discussions and reach a solution for the agenda they are assigned. MUN allows the delegates to develop confidence in public speaking and leading others, a stronger awareness of global issues, and the chance to make new friends worldwide.
Purpose:
● To develop universally acceptable proposals to solve some pressing global issues, including poverty, health, energy & education, conflict, wildlife& conservation, climate change, and imbalanced trade.
● To provide opportunities to practice research, public speaking, teamwork, negotiation, and writing skills in a safe and structured environment through MUN conferences.
● To develop confidence and leadership skills through experience.
● To enhance critical thinking and problem-solving skills in the students.
● To promote diplomacy skills in students.
