Model United Nations, or MUN for short, is a simulation of the famed international organization, the United Nations. High school students from around the nation represent different countries and debate world issues, competing against other schools, both within their geographic area and from all over the world. But it does not stop there! Model United Nations provides a forum for young people from an assortment of background and from around the country to interact and get to know each other in healthy competition.
At ETHS, MUN provided an invaluable experience that helps expand a student's sphere of knowledge and develop an understanding of different cultures and prevalent issues across the globe. It provides valuable skills required to thrive in our every-changing and globally dependent world, including research, compromise, problem-solving, and public speaking abilities.
ETHS's MUN program also equips students with the skills needed to succeed in the AP Capstone program, allowing students to have a distinct advantage.
The ETHS MUN program, though small, is mighty. We strive to provide our delegates with a meaningful learning experience while creating an environment where students can build lasting memories, friendships, and skills. Through Model United Nations, students are given the opportunity to explore global issues, understand different perspectives, and experience the challenges of diplomacy and international relations firsthand.
It is a priority of our program that every student has a voice and the opportunity to make an impact within their committee. We encourage delegates to bring their ideas to the table, collaborate with others, and approach each topic with confidence, creativity, and an open mind. Whether through thoughtful debate, strategic negotiation, or passionate speeches, every delegate has the ability to contribute and make a difference.
Through our dedicated program, we hope to support and inspire the world's future leaders. ETHS MUN is not only a place to learn about international affairs, but also a community where students can grow as leaders, advocates, and global citizens.
The ETHS MUN program is driven by passionate students and staff who are committed to creating a meaningful and engaging Model United Nations experience. Our chairs and conference staff work diligently to prepare thoughtful committees, engaging topics, and well-organized sessions that challenge delegates to think critically and approach global issues from new perspectives. Through debate, collaboration, and diplomacy, we encourage every delegate to develop their confidence, communication skills, and understanding of international affairs.
ETHS MUN is built on a commitment to learning, leadership, and continuous improvement. As our program continues to grow, we strive to create new opportunities for students to become involved both inside and outside of committee. While every conference brings something new, our focus remains the same: providing delegates with an experience that is challenging, educational, and memorable. We are constantly looking for ways to improve our conferences, introduce new ideas, and create an environment where students can grow as leaders.
Community and Collaboration
At ETHS MUN, we believe that Model United Nations is about more than simply winning awards. Our conference brings students together to discuss pressing global issues, exchange perspectives, and work toward solutions through respectful debate and negotiation. Every delegate is encouraged to contribute their ideas and find their voice within committee. By fostering a welcoming and collaborative environment, ETHS MUN gives students the opportunity to build lasting connections, strengthen their diplomacy and public speaking skills, and become more informed and engaged global citizens.
