WHAT IS MODEL UN

An academic simulation of real diplomacy

Each delegate represents a country in a specific UN committee, working alongside students from across the world to resolve real global issues — using the policies and perspective of their assigned nation, from the United States to Côte d’Ivoire.

"It’s not what you know, it’s who you know. If you work towards results based on the relationships, you will not only be more successful – the achievement will be a positive turnout for others as well. And who doesn’t love team spirit?"

"The skills I obtained at UUMUN are skills I use daily in my professional life, for example when writing speeches or communications to the press or to the public. The fact that you don’t only follow trainings, but also work hard together as a team to make your year happen makes UUMUN extra exciting. "

“UUMUN provided me with high-end public speaking, lobbying and negotiation skills. Furthermore, I learnt how to develop and phrase ideas and gained the habit of always searching for shared interests with different people. These skills are invaluable in my work as a lawyer, and also for many other professional careers.”
