What is a Model United Nations
Model United Nations is an innovative educational simulation that replicates the workings of the United Nations and other International Governmental Organizations. Imagine students stepping into the shoes of world diplomats, representing various countries, and deliberating on international issues ranging from climate change to human rights. MUN conferences provide a platform for participants to engage in lively debates, negotiate resolutions, and develop a deep understanding of global affairs.
In essence, Model United Nations is a transformative experience that goes beyond the classroom, shaping the leaders and global citizens of tomorrow. Through engaging in diplomatic simulations and parliamentary procedures, students, teachers, and schools become key contributors to a more interconnected, understanding, and cooperative world.
UNA Morocco has developed a national agenda for Schools and Universities to advance international vocational programs so to contribute building more international schools, active citizens and international change makers.
