Middle School Model United Nations Club (MSMUN)
Middle School Model United Nations (MSMUN) is a program that is designed for junior high school students. This program is an excellent platform for students to refine a number of skills including debating and public speaking skills, journalistic talents, leadership skills and conflict resolution. Through the MUN club at school, learners are rigorously trained in research, writing resolutions, debating in parliamentary style and lobbying for support from other delegates. The activities of the club closely simulate the fast moving world of diplomacy using 21st Century learning skills and approaches.
Tremendous support for the MSMUN delegates is given here at school to ensure they excel during the conference. Many lessons and experiences have been garnered through years of participation and we can only hope for the best outcome in this year’s club. We look forward to implementing a number of changes and improvements that will further enrich our MUN program and make it even more enjoyable for all the learners involved.
Due to its competitive nature and popularity among the students eligibility to this club is purely based on merit from a resolution writing challenge.
