|  | |
|  | The term MUN stands for Model United Nations which is a simulation of the United Nations. In MUN conferences, students discuss current world concerning issues from different points of view. There are different committees dealing with various topics aiming to find a resolution in the interest of all nations. A resolution consists of preambulatory clauses which explain the current situation, and operative clauses that suggest an action plan. Students represent countries as delegates and are asked to cooperate with others during the process of solving the problem.
The first day consists of lobbying which includes exchanging ideas with delegates representing other countries and writing a resolution which will be submitted and debated on the next day.
All the resolutions are presented in the committee and students have the opportunity to speak in favor or against the resolution. Also, it is possible to submit amendments which either add or strike new clauses. In the voting procedure, the resolution is passed if the majority of delegates vote in favor. The committee chooses one resolution which will be discussed in the General Assembly.
Every committee takes part in the General Assembly where it is decided whether the resolution passes, meaning it will be put in action, or not. This will be the final debating process.
MUN is a great opportunity for students to improve their English skills as well their ability to address an audience. Participating in MUN is an experience which teaches students the importance of tolerance. Furthermore it provides numerous chances to approach principles that are crucial for the business routine, such as: teamwork, communication and taking perspective.
