1. Asia-Pacific Model UN Conference<\/span><\/h4>\n

The Asia-Pacific Model UN Conference (AMUNC) is the largest Model United Nations conference in the region. Now in its 16th year, AMUNC has developed a reputation as one of the premier events in the region for aspiring young leaders, with nearly 600 of the best and brightest from across the Asia-Pacific and beyond in attendance.<\/p>\n

Date:<\/strong> Sunday 11 July- Friday 16 July, 2010.
\nVenue:<\/strong> University of Sydney<\/p>\n

For a week, AMUNC captures the glitz and grind of the diplomat\u2019s world. Through the Model UN framework, you will have the opportunity to grapple more immediately with the intricacies of some of the pressing issues facing our global community be it in international security, law, economics, or the environment.<\/p>\n

Model UN allows you to escape beyond the confines of theory and place yourself in the shoes of our national leaders. But, perhaps most importantly, AMUNC is about connecting with like-minded people in developing valuable professional networks and forging life-long friendships.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Spots are limited so sign up fast.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The closing date for registrations is Monday 31 May, 2010<\/strong><\/p>\n
