Model United Nations Assembly

 
The Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA) is an annual event to educate Year 11 & 12 students on the United Nations (U.N.) organisation. The way the U.N. plays a vital role in promoting world peace, in addition to improving health, education and living standards around the world.
 
The event provides an excellent forum for students to develop and practise their public speaking skills whilst debating resolutions on topical world issues.

MUNA is held in many Rotary Districts around Australia. The team that places first in MUNA will be invited to compete at the Australian National MUNA at the Museum of Australian Democracy (Old Parliament House) in Canberra.

Participants (known as delegates) are asked to research a country to which they are allocated, form a stance on each resolution and choose a national costume. As delegates they are encouraged to do as much research as possible to improve their understanding of the country allocated and its issues. One delegate will be asked to present a one-minute speech detailing an overview of political, economic and social conditions in your country.

Delegates need to research to form a stance on each resolution from the point of view of their allocated country and be prepared to argue their position on each resolution so they can convince the assembly to vote in their favour.

Delegates are also strongly encouraged to adopt their country’s national dress.  There will be a separate award to the team with the most appropriate/interesting national dress.
 
Our Rotary Club will support teams from local high schools wishing to participate by paying the registration cost. Your school will need to form the team to represent it.
