MODEL UNITED NATIONS
Model United Nations (MUN) is a conference simulation of United Nations organisations. Students take on the role of diplomats representing different member states of the United Nations to debate, negotiate, and resolve contemporary world issues.
MUN conferences are simulated under different Rules of Procedure, such as the United Nations Association USA (UNAUSA) Procedure, and the World Federation of United Nations Associations International MUN (WIMUN) Procedure.
The Global Citizen Vietnam teaches MUN in the UNAUSA Procedure, the most popular Model UN Procedure in the world, and the WIMUN Procedure, the only UN-endorsed Procedure with limited number of trainers in the world.
