Model United Nations
Model United Nations (MUN), also known as Model UN, is an educational simulation of the United Nations (UN), where students learn diplomacy, international relations, global issues, and how the UN is run. During a model UN conference, students simulate the roles of representatives of countries, organizations, or individuals to collaborate and present global issues.
MUN students may be involved in research, public speaking, debating, writing, critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership. While MUN is primarily an extracurricular activity, some schools integrate it into their curriculum as a class. Its goals include developing understanding of global issues and encouraging civic engagement.
Student delegates may prepare for conferences by conducting research, drafting position papers, and formulating policy proposals. These are discussed and amended during sessions, culminating in drafting and voting on written policies called "resolution papers." Awards are often presented to recognize exceptional participants or delegations.
MUN is available for students from elementary to university levels, with conferences tailored to each age group. Students typically attend conferences as part of delegations from their school or university, though some participate independently.
Model United Nations began as a series of League of Nations simulations. The first simulations were called "international assemblies", the first of which was held at University of Oxford in November 1921, with the potential first ever simulation being on 12 November 1921.
In 1922, Mir Mahmood, the president of the first Oxford International Assembly, traveled to Harvard University to promote these simulations and inspired the Harvard Liberal Club to create the first American International Assembly, hosted at Harvard University on January 10, 1923.
Harvard's first International Assembly included fifteen nations: The United States of America, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Great Britain, India, China, France, Germany, Greece, Holland, Italy, Japan, Russia, and Sweden. Delegates discussed "The Status of the Island of Rhodes" and "The International Traffic in Opium."
After World War II, Model League of Nations transitioned to Model United Nations after the formation of the League's successor organization, the United Nations, in 1945. Today, some Model United Nations conferences include a wide variety of topics in their committee offerings, some, even simulating the League of Nations.
