The Model UN concept gives students the chance to debate topical issues of relevance to the UN system, refine their research skills, learn to collaborate with other students from schools throughout Europe, and gain confidence when speaking in public debates.

Before the event, groups of students are assigned a country they will represent, and prepare their interventions based on that country’s actual stance on the topic under discussion, which they are expected to research independently and present in a professional manner.

Students participate in business attire, and manage their own interpretation, documentation, communications and translation services.
