International Model United Nations (IMUN) brings youth together from around the world to learn and share ideas from a diverse set of experiences and backgrounds where the Executive board, International Press and International Delegates consolidate to learn about diplomacy, international relations, and the United Nations. At IMUN, delegates gain insight into the United Nations and the dynamics of international relations by assuming the roles of UN representatives and members of other international bodies and national cabinets. International MUN is an exciting opportunity to debate issues that confront world leaders, to draft resolutions in response to the global issues and work with others who are equally motivated and passionate about the topics of debate. The longevity and dynamic that only a conference of our size can achieve, makes IMUN one of the preeminent simulation of UN in the world. Objectives of International MUN : -Develop deeper knowledge on current global issues and improve critical thinking. -Strengthen their diplomacy skills and develop ideas to solve current international problems. -Improve researching, public speaking, debating, and writing skills, in addition to critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership abilities. -Differentiate between the parliament and the UN, while distinguishing power struggle from diplomacy. -Improve international exposure by gaining experiences from delegates across the world.
