Schoolhouse Fall Model United Nations 2024 Starts Sat Nov 16, 1:30 AM We’re thrilled to welcome you to the Schoolhouse Fall Model United Nations (MUN) Series!
Get ready for a journey into the world of international diplomacy, teamwork, and global problem-solving.
What is an MUN and Why Participate?
For those new to the concept, MUN stands for Model United Nations, where participants take on the roles of country representatives to tackle real-world global issues. MUNs are an amazing way to build skills in public speaking, negotiation, and critical thinking while exploring international relations. Through this series, we aim to bring you a dynamic and educational experience, allowing you to participate in meaningful debates and make impactful resolutions.
