On Model United Nations

Model United Nations is an extracurricular activity, in which students take on the role as diplomats of a country and simulate the discussions inside a particular body within the United Nations system. Participants research a country's position regarding a specific issue of international relevance, debate and discuss possible solutions with other fellow delegates, and produce a final resolution document in UN-format. 

Besides the knowledge that delegates gain through their research, participants are also able to develop their diplomacy and leadership skills through the many debates and negotiations they experience.
