What is Model UN?
An engaging program that builds real-world skills.
Dynamic Learning
Model UN immerses students in the world of international relations, where they transform into global leaders to navigate complex challenges. By stepping directly into the roles of diplomats, participants gain invaluable real-world skills as they debate international policies, master the art of negotiation, and resolve complex conflicts. This powerful experience equips tomorrow's leaders with the critical collaboration abilities needed to solve our world's most urgent challenges.

-
Research and news literacy
-
Critical thinking and problem solving
-
Public speaking and persuasive debate
-
Diplomatic negotiation and conflict resolution
-
Cultural awareness and global perspective
By practicing these skills, students gain the confidence to become changemakers in their local communities, and beyond.
