Model United Nations is a simulation of a United Nations conference for students from 16 to 21 years old. Participants take on the role of a delegate representing their country's point of view. The debate is moderated by the Secretariat, which also consists of students.

 

The conference's official language is English, which helps in raising awareness of international issues, improving oratorical skills and integrating with peers who share similar interests.
