There are several reasons why it is important for high school students to participate in Model United Nations (MUN), specifically, in MUN conferences organized by students of their own age:

​

Develops Skills
MUN provides a unique opportunity for high school students to develop critical skills that will serve them well in their future academic and professional careers. These include research, public speaking, writing, negotiation, teamwork, and leadership.

​

Global Awareness

MUN exposes high school students to global issues and challenges, promoting a deeper understanding of world events and cultures. This exposure broadens their worldview and helps them to become more engaged global citizens.

​

Networking

MUN conferences bring together students from different schools and regions, providing a valuable opportunity for networking and making new connections. These connections can be helpful in their future academic and professional pursuits.

​

Experience of Diplomacy

MUN conferences provide students with experience in diplomacy and negotiation, which is an essential skill in international relations. The ability to communicate effectively, resolve conflicts, and build consensus is crucial in today's interconnected world.

​

Encourage Civic Participation

Participating in MUN conferences can inspire high school students to get involved in their communities and become active in civic engagement. It can also encourage them to pursue a career in international relations, public service, or diplomacy.
