Model United Nations (MUN) is a simulation of the United Nations and other international bodies, where delegates take on the roles of diplomats, ambassadors, journalists, NGO agents, renowned experts, and government ministers. These delegates come together to discuss, debate, and negotiate over solutions for some of the world’s most pressing issues.
NTU MUN helps students develop a positive growth mindset, strengthen confidence and build leadership skills.
Here are some skills that NTU MUN participants can gain:
1. Negotiation and Lobbying Skills:
Skillful negotiation is part of becoming a good delegate. Other than showcasing your competency at reasoning, it is also vital to learn to make acceptable resolutions and form alliances.
2. Efficient Research and Heightened Awareness on Global Issues:
To possess a broad perspective on current affairs, delegates are encouraged to do a vast amount of research. Delegates will be able to effectively prune information from various sources to obtain a well-rounded understanding on their chosen topic.
3. Analytical and Coherent Writing:
Besides providing an enhanced understanding of geopolitics, our Model UN conference will also train you to write analytically about complex topics using accessible language.
4. Clear Thinking and Quick Decision Making Skills:
Delegates are required to internalise what they have learned, and deliver that knowledge through speeches, caucusing, and resolutions.
No, delegates do not require any past experience in Model UN, or even in the field of international relations to participate in the conference.
