Why Participate in UBCMUN 2011?

Why Participate?

If you have never been to a Model United Nations conference before (or have never even heard of Model UN), you are probably wondering what it is and why you should get involved. Model UN (MUN) is a simulation of the United Nations. Participants (known as delegates) take on the role of a country representative and work with delegates from other countries to try and address some of the world’s most complex issues.

In addition to meeting interesting people from across North America, participating in MUN also gives you the chance to hone skills you have acquired throughout the years. Your proficiency in public speaking, debate and negotiation can be practiced and improved through participation in the conference.  Perhaps most importantly, MUN gives you an opportunity to apply your knowledge of international politics and current events in an exciting and challenging environment! This year, our innovative committees are covering a variety of topics from international terrorism to global food security to indigenous rights – be part of the dialogue and register today!
