 “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. MUN involves and teaches participants speaking, debating, and writing skills, in addition to critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership abilities,” Reena Khurana, chairperson of Sahodaya, said.
She explained that MUN is an extracurricular activity, though some schools also offer it as a class. “It is meant to engage students and allow them to develop deeper understanding into current world issues,” Reena said.
She added that students will get more exposure and connect in the conference, as most students are from Indore and can connect with each on a local level as well.
