Model United Nations (IITG MUN):

Model UN conferences are a simulated panel discussion, set up on the lines of UN conferences and committees. Students take on the roles of diplomats from different countries, representing their nation in discussions and debate on a particular agenda/ topic in the conference. The entire debate is carried out through formal rules of procedure that require students to truly step into the shoes of UN delegates. Students participating as delegates must research on their allotted countries in great detail, understanding their own foreign policy to fare well in the competition.

Participating in a Model UN conference can help students and young people develop leadership skills as well as research, writing, public speaking and problem solving skills.
