What is MUN?
Model United Nations (MUN) is a student-run simulation of the United Nations, where students assume the roles of foreign diplomats to learn about international politics and diplomacy. Participants at the SFS-Qatar MUN are high school students from around the world, who join our MUN as a school team of six students and one or two teachers. Student participants ("delegates") are required to research both the country they will represent at the conference as well as the specific topics to be debated in their assigned committee.
