Description
Model United Nations (MUN) is a dynamic student society where global issues meet passionate debate and diplomacy. Through immersive simulations, members embody delegates from countries around the world, tackling pressing international challenges and developing skills in negotiation, critical thinking, and leadership. It’s a space where curiosity about world affairs comes alive with lively discussion, collaboration, and friendship.
