What is Model UN?
An engaging program that builds real-world skills.
Experience Diplomacy
Model UN brings international relations to life by placing students in the shoes of global diplomats tackling real-world challenges. As they debate policies, negotiate solutions, and build consensus across different perspectives, participants develop essential leadership skills that extend far beyond the conference room. This hands-on experience cultivates the critical thinking, communication, and collaboration abilities that define effective leaders in our interconnected world.
