Model United Nations (MUN) is a simulation of the United Nations where students role-play as delegates representing different countries, engaging in debates and discussions on global issues.
Participants, acting as UN delegates, research and discuss a specific country's stance on given topics, aiming to collaboratively draft resolutions, negotiate, and address complex international problems. Read more about this conference's procedure over at the Rules page.
AMBMUN is exclusively open to students of AMB, spanning from 7th grade to 12th grade. The conference is designed to engage and involve participants within this specific school and grade range.
MUN cultivates research, public speaking, negotiation, and teamwork skills. Participants also gain a deeper understanding of global affairs and learn to appreciate diverse perspectives.
