The MMUN Conference is a simulation of the UN General Assembly and other multi-lateral bodies. In MMUN, we will step into the shoes of ambassadors from various countries to debate current issues on the organization’s agenda. As student “delegates” we will make speeches, prepare draft resolutions, negotiate with allies and adversaries, resolve conflicts, and navigate the MMUN conference rules of procedure to resolve problems that affect countries all over the world.
I have been selected as one of 30 delegates chosen for the 2017 MMUN. This opportunity means several things to me. It allows me to learn about other countries, and to make the world a better place by sharing ideas and learning from others. This is an important part of MMUN because different cultures have different ideas, which means that everyone has to work together and compromise to solve problems in a way that can be accepted by everyone.
The skills I hope to gain from my involvement in MMUN are to improve my communication through speech giving and improve my ability to work with others through cooperation and compromise. These are things that I think will be valuable for MMUN and in the future.
Any donation is truly appreciated, no matter the size, and will support our 5-day trip to NYC.
