Model United Nations
"The United Nations has done a great deal in recent years to change with the times. But today the Organization has come to something of a fork in the road - with one path leading towards true effectiveness, and the other towards an unacceptable status quo. Each of you has an important role to play in helping the United Nations become a better instrument of service to the peoples of the world.

MUN is a unique simulation of the United Nations, allowing students to gather to represent the United Nation's member states. During a MUN conference, solutions to the problems faced by the world are proposed and discussed, with intricate diplomacy and debate leading to decisions. If you have an awareness and passion to see solutions to a fallen world, MUN is the perfect opportunity to refine skills and knowledge with like minded people.
Or if you have a slightly more Machiavellian approach to politics then you have found the perfect forum for enlivened debate!
