Frequently Asked Questions

A Model United Nations (MUN) is a training project that allows participants to simulate the decision-making processes of several United Nations committees through a role game. Each student will play the role of an Ambassador of a country and will have the objective of formulating and negotiating resolutions, together with their colleagues, to find solutions for some of the most important problems facing the international community.

Participating in a MUN can help with your future university applications as it demonstrates academic engagament, leadership, soft skills like public speaking and negotiation, and understanding of diverse viewpoints on global affairs. We highly encourage every high school student to participate in a MUN conference at least once during their high school years.

Yes, MUN conferences are widely recognized by schools as valuable, high-level educational simulations. They are regarded as prestigious extracurricular activities and therefore, if our trip dates don’t match with your school holidays, you are likely to be granted exemption from school attendance for our trips.

Before the MUN conference, delegates will need to prepare by researching the topic of their assigned committee and the foreign policy of their assigned country. This research is helpful for drafting the Position Paper, which will have to be submitted prior to the conference. We will provide you with all necessary preparation materials and guidelines to help you prepare for the conference.

Our trips stand out with our diverse 7-day travel program, combining the MUN conference with various other cultural and academic activities. Our delegates get to experience both an international MUN event and New York City to its fullest.

De reis was een geweldige ervaring voor mij en mijn vrienden. Ik vond het culturele aspect van de reis ook erg leuk, dus het was een goede balans tussen de MUN-conferentie en andere activiteiten.

Mijn deelname aan het evenement in New York was een van de leukste dingen die ik op de middelbare school heb meegemaakt. Het gaf me de kans om gepassioneerde en interessante leeftijdsgenoten te ontmoeten en buiten mijn comfortzone te stappen.

De New York-reis met MUN Nederland was een goede mix van serieuze debatten tijdens de conferentie en onvergetelijke bezienswaardigheden. Ik heb niet alleen veel geleerd over internationale politiek, maar ook nieuwe vrienden gemaakt uit heel Nederland.
