Model United Nations

 

Model United Nations is a club that participates in a simulated U.N. General Assembly. The basic purpose is an in depth study of another nation, the analysis and appreciation of its perspective on global issues and negotiation.  Members will also develop their extemporaneous speech skills as they try to persuade delegates from other countries to adopt their resolutions regarding a wide variety of international political, social, and economic issues. This year, the MPS Model United Nations will be representing Thailand at GUMUN.
