Are you interested in international affairs, public speaking, and negotiating? Looking for something fun to do in your mid-semester break? Then you should participate in MUNash: Monash University Model United Nations Conference.
MUNash will run from Monday 29 September until Wednesday 1 October (during the mid-semester break) at the Caulfield campus, and is organised by the Monash International Affairs Society and Orion College.
A Model United Nations is a simulation of the UN General Assembly and other multilateral bodies. In a Model UN, students step into the shoes of ambassadors from UN member states to debate current issues on the organisation’s agenda. While playing their roles as ambassadors, student “delegates” make speeches, prepare draft resolutions, negotiate with allies and adversaries, resolve conflicts, and navigate the Model UN rules of procedure – all in the interest of mobilising international cooperation to resolve problems that affect countries all over the world.
This year, there are five different committees available.
Committees which are open to all participants (no experience or special knowledge required):
- Second General Assembly (economic and financial)
- Sixth General Assembly (legal)
- Human Rights Council
Committees which are only open to participants with special experience:
- Security Council (MUN experience required)
- International Criminal Court (MUN or mooting experience required)
Register now to participate:
Your ticket includes participation in the conference, entry into the night time events, and morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea on all three days. You will have ample opportunity to mingle and network with delegates from all committees.
Once registered, you will receive a confirmation email within a few days from the Director of Delegate Affairs with further details.
