Model United Nations

Model United Nations (M.U.N) is a simulation of the United Nations for students. Around the globe, alarge number of similar conferences take place. During these conferences, students become delegates, representatives of a UN Member State that has been allocated to them. After extensive research into their allocated country, delegates discuss, write and debate resolutions (documents detailing their suggestions and solutions to world issues). Directors, usually teachers, are responsible for training and leadind their delegation of students. They ensure that debates take place in a formal manner in accordance to the 'Parliamentary Procedure' of the UN.

M.U.N. confences are greatly beneficial to all participants. Young people gain knowledge not only on individual countries but also on the working and running of the United Nations. They role play international politics and gain in depth understanding of the difficulties, lmitations and essentially, the opportunities involved. M.U.N. programs encourage tolerance and diversity. Last but not least, students develop important skills such as teamwork and public speaking.

MEDI.M.U.N.

The Mediterranean Model United Nations (MEDI.M.U.N.) is the first M.U.N. conference to take place in Cyprus and was inaugurated in January 2006. All sessions to date have been successful in achieving high standards of debate and preparation in a professional atmosphere. Participants left having produced outstanding results in all features of the conference: academic understanding of some of the most complicated issues, fervent debating and networking in a multicultural environment.

Cyprus, being found in the centre of three continents, has proven to be the ideal place to promote diversity and unity by helping to open the minds of young people from the international community. Last year, the multicultural element of the conference was emphasised by the participation of over 250 students of at least 10 nationalities.
