With each participant representing a country, they discuss the real-world issues that humanity now faces; and strive to solve them using the policies and perspectives of their respective nation.
One hundred twenty three students from across 12 government schools in the district have been selected based on their aptitude and interest in public speaking and social science. These students have received an orientation to the functioning of the UN and the role of delegates. They have also been familiarized with the concept of MUNs and have participated in mock speeches on the agenda decided for the MUN.
