About the Conference
The Model United Nations (MUN) Conference is an educational simulation where students take on the roles of United Nations delegates to debate global issues and seek solutions through diplomacy and negotiation. This immersive experience is designed to foster critical thinking, public speaking, collaboration, and leadership skills, all while enhancing students' understanding of international relations and current affairs.
Over two inspiring days, students will step into these roles, representing nations and viewpoints in a professional and structured environment. Participants will be divided into four committees, each focusing on a significant topic shaping the world today.
MONDAY: Conference Day 1
