MUN: Model United Nations

Model United Nations (also known as "MUN") is an educational simulation that focuses on civics, communications, and multilateral diplomacy. 
During a Model United Nations conference, students take on roles as foreign diplomats and participate in a simulated session of an intergovernmental organization (IGO). Participants research a country, take on a role as a diplomat, investigate international issues, debate, deliberate, consult, and then develop solutions to world issues. During a simulation they must employ a variety of communications and critical thinking skills to defend and advance the policies of their country.


My schedule only allows me to participate in one MUN meeting every two weeks, on mondays week 1 during activity block. Therefore i won't be able to be chosen as one of the delegates in the MUN conference coming up. But even though i am not committed to this club as much as to Interact club, MUN remains important to me because it discusses world wide issues such as discrimination and sexism, which really matter for a feminist like me. Right now we are concentrating on some countries such as China, which our delegates will represent at the conference. Our job is to gather information about their backgrounds, their actual issues, their allies and their enemies. China has some sexist policies towards the female gender, which is why i chose to research this country instead of the other ones.
