    Uploaded by

    Max Raitz von Frentz
    Model United Nations conferences are simulations of the real United Nations where students learn about diplomacy and international relations. Participants research countries and issues, write resolutions, debate, amend and vote on resolutions. Conferences involve researching topics, writing resolutions, lobbying other delegates, learning parliamentary procedure and public speaking. The goal is to educate students about global issues and multilateral negotiations through role playing UN committees and replicating the UN's processes.
