Athena Model United Nations

Model United Nations is a simulation of the United Nations, the world’s largest and most diverse international organization. The purpose of these conferences is to educate participants about the inner workings of the United Nations, and the complexity of international cooperation and multilateral diplomacy. Delegates, as participants are known, adopt the roles of state ambassadors or NGO (non-governmental organization) representatives and work within their specialized committees to discuss and propose solutions to some of the world's most pressing issues. In addition to educating delegates about diplomacy and global concerns, Model United Nations conferences are a fantastic opportunity for participants to develop their public speaking, research, negotiation and written and verbal communication skills. Currently some 400 conferences take place each year with approximately students taking part in MUN conferences across the world. Athena MUN is not just an opportunity to have some fun and learn about international affairs, it’s also excellent preparation for future leadership in law, government, business and the arts, and so on.Additionally, it will also give you an opportunity to show the world that young people are neither apathetic nor apolitical. It will help you learn about the various atrocities faced by people, possibilities in the current paradigm and situations that arise as a result of international events. It’s an apprenticeship in diplomacy, a chance to meet like-minded individuals, hone your debating skills and simultaneously take back enriching memories from this once in a lifetime experience that we guarantee to provide.
