What is Model United Nations? Model UN provides the opportunity for students to debate the contemporary world issues on the United Nation's agenda. Students become state ambassadors for the purpose of defending a given country's view while debating these crucial areas of concern and providing realistic solutions to serious issues happening around the world today.
Common topics of discussion vary from climate change and renewable energy, recent armed conflicts, natural disaster recovery, poverty in underdeveloped countries, and humanitarian aid to nations and refugees in extreme need.
Students write speeches, collaborate to prepare draft resolutions, negotiate with allies and adversaries, resolve conflicts, and practice the conference rules of procedure within UN committees. This is all done in the interest of mobilizing "international cooperation" to resolve matters of contention within the contemporary world system.
As the world continues to shift, the United Nations works to shift and adapt with it and its citizens. For this reason, and many more, Model UN conferences work to provide students with a world perspective in the effort to enhance the knowledge of the world we live in.
