Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA)

The Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA) simulates the workings of the United Nations General Assembly by having teams of two or three senior students represent a particular U.N. member country in debates on matters of world political and social concern.

Typically, MUNA is held over a weekend from Friday evening to Sunday lunchtime depending on the host Rotary Club which changes every couple of years.

The objective of MUNA is to develop in students an awareness of the United Nations and the international situation of other countries in the world. It also:

• Enables students to improve their public speaking and debating skills.

• Encourages students to make sympathetic and informed comments on world problems.

• Allows students to share their opinions and friendship with students from other schools.

• Builds the foundations for the free sharing of ideas across national boundaries, which is the essence of a truly open society tolerant to differences of race, religion, and political opinion.

Teams must be nominated and sponsored by a Rotary Club. Particpants are hosted by the members and friends of the host Club for the duration of the Assembly.
