The event was a resounding success, providing an opportunity for young people to come together and tackle some of the most pressing global issues of our time.

MUN is a simulation of the United Nations General Assembly, where participants take on the roles of delegates from different countries and engage in debates on various topics. Through this experience, young people learn about diplomacy, international relations, public speaking, and negotiation skills. The conference provides a platform for students to engage in sustained, high-quality debate, reconcile differences, and reach a consensus on complex issues. Read more
