Mission Statement
Model United Nations (also Model UN or MUN) is an
academic simulation of the United Nations that aims
to educate participants about current events, topics in
international relations, diplomacy and the United
Nations agenda.
What do MUN students do?
 Participants research a country, take on roles as
  diplomats, investigate international issues, debate,
  deliberate, consult, and then develop solutions to
  world problems.
Delegates

Over a series of committee
sessions, the delegates have
to work together
constructively in order to
introduce working papers
and eventually draft
resolutions. The sessions
end when the committee
votes on all the introduced
draft resolutions, generally
choosing to adopt a single
document that addresses
the problem being
discussed.
Chairs

The sessions
are moderated
by a Chair and
are run under
rules of
parliamentary
procedure.
Benefits
 Model UN is a great way to connect teachers and
  students from Macedonia (and region)
 A valuable resource to help students develop
  negotiation skills, learn effective communication skills
  and form solutions
 Broaden one’s perspective on a variety of international
  topics
 Students develop the
  leadership, organizational, creative, and personal skills
  that will be useful for their career
How can we start a team in our
           community?
 First, find a few like-minded friends. They don’t have
  to be experts in debate, just interested in learning
  more about the world!
 Designate one motivated person as the team leader –
  they will act as a “captain,” guiding the team’s research
  and practice activities.
 Begin to practice debate ASAP. Once your team
  receives its country, you may begin writing your
  position papers and will be able to focus your energy
  on learning more about the specific topics of debate.
 Remember to keep it fun! 
