#MMUN2017
What is MMUN?
The Macedonian Model United Nations (MMUN) is a program that simulates the United Nations and aims to educate participants about current events, diplomacy, citizenship and problem solving. Students from universities and high schools form teams and research international issues, write political papers, debate, and develop solutions to world problems. Each team of students has the opportunity to represent a different UN member country.
How Did MMUN Start?
The Macedonia Model United Nations is a cooperative effort sponsored by the Coalition of youth organizations SEGA with the support of Peace Corps Volunteers in Macedonia. The Programme aims to enrich students by further developing their English language skills, increasing their understanding of the role and function of the United Nations, expanding their knowledge of pressing issues facing the global community, and improving their ability to identify solutions to complex problems through logical argument and cooperation as part of a group. Students' work culminates in a day long Conference where their preparation is put into practice.
