What is Model United Nations?
Model United Nations, or MUN, is a thrilling academic simulation of the United Nations, where students get to step into the shoes of real-world diplomats. You’ll debate pressing global issues, negotiate with fellow delegates, and draft resolutions that could change the world—at least in your committee! But MUN is so much more than just debate. It’s a chance to improve critical thinking, enhance communication skills, and learn to work as a team under pressure. Whether you dream of being a world leader or just want to step up your game in public speaking, WISMUN gives you that opportunity.
The WISMUN Experience
What makes WISMUN special? It’s an event designed for everyone, whether you're a first-time delegate or an experienced MUN participant. Newcomers will find a welcoming, supportive environment where they can speak up with confidence, while seasoned delegates will still find challenges that push their skills to the next level. With engaging debates, interactive workshops, and plenty of networking opportunities, WISMUN is more than just a conference – it’s an experience that will stay with you long after the event ends.
Beyond the debates, as Patricia the former delegate of USA had mentioned, WISMUN is about personal growth. By stepping up and challenging yourself, you’ll gain not just new skills but also lifelong friendships, greater self-confidence, and a fresh perspective on global issues.
Breaking Barriers at WISMUN
Is Model United Nations (MUN) a competitive space? Ho Thanh Vi - UNCTAD delegate shared her perspective: “Well, of course, it can be competitive. But I think the UN body itself is such a cooperative kind of environment.”
WISMUN is more than just competitive debate—it’s a platform for learning, growth, and diplomacy. While it may seem daunting at first, stepping in makes all the difference. “WISMUN isn’t intimidating once you engage. It’s where respectful debate and shared ideas occur,” said Nguyen Phan Ngoc Khanh, a MOCK MUN delegate. By embracing the experience, delegates not only overcome fears but also contribute to meaningful discussions that shape the future.
