About MUN
Model United Nations, also known as Model UN or MUN, is an educational simulation and/or academic activity in which students can learn about diplomacy, international relations, and the United Nations. Moreover, MUN involves and teaches participants speaking, debating, and writing skills, in addition to critical thinking, teamwork, as well as leadership abilities. Usually an extracurricular activity, some schools also offer Model UN as a class. It is meant to engage students and allow them to develop deeper understanding into current world issues.
Specialized Committee
The procedure for a specialized committee is similar to that of a General Assembly style Model UN committee. However, rather than representing United Nations bodies, delegates will represent other international organizations. Specialized committees can be historical, current, or fictional.
Crisis Committee
A crisis committee is a unique, interactive style of Model UN committee. Delegates will represent individuals instead of countries and will be able to change the course of events throughout the conference by using personal portfolio powers. Moreover, each crisis committee has a crisis room, which will periodically update the committee on the status of the situation and will respond to individual delegate requests for private actions.
