MUN - Model United Nations

The Model United Nations Club at AISL engages students in an authentic simulation of the United Nations system by learning about the UN, the skills of debate, compromise, conflict resolution and negotiation. MUN team members have fun learning about the workings of world diplomacy through the lens of current events.

Some of the skills students will be learning in MUN include debate, public speaking, international affairs, negotiation, conflict resolution, writing draft resolutions, plotting strategy and understanding UN rules and procedures. They may also earn the possibility of traveling to regional and/or international MUN Conferences held annually in places such as Beijing, Ghana, or South Africa. This is an earned privilege that comes as a result of faithful attendance to all meetings, constructive participation, and hard work.

Student goals for MUN at AISL:

• Learn the basics about the United Nations
• Form mock Assemblies and draft resolutions
• Learn about major current events around the world that may have a direct or indirect impact on the United Nations
• Select a particular nation we would like to represent at an MUN conference
• Do major and detailed research on our selected nation so as to be prepared for the MUN Conference
• Do major and detailed research on our allied nations and opposing nations so as to be prepared for the MUN Conference and the debates that take place
• Have a lot of fun!
