Model United Nations Club - MC

The Model United Nations Club (MC) is an event series of AFA and other institutions with regularly UN simulations for young people. Why participate in MUNs?

What is a Model United Nations (MUN)? A Model United Nations (MUN) is a meeting where students (high school and university) authentically simulate negotiations of specific committees and organs of the United Nations. Participants choose a country and research their chosen country's position regarding a specific topic. After preparation, they step into the shoes of diplomats and represent this coun

try in a committee. They debate, convince, bring forward new solutions and solve a world conflict with their own resolution. Thousands of students actively take part in MUNs, debating either at training sessions at clubs or at international conferences that are organized all over the world. The motivation for participation in MUNs is simple, yet very convincing:
• improve negotiation and public speaking skills
• become a better team-worker and leader
• get an insight into an UN diplomat's work
• make practical use of political knowledge
• meet and stay in touch with students from all around the world
• earn a valuable certificate

The Vienna International Model United Nations (VIMUN) since that time is the an highlight of the UN youth acitivities in Austria. In August up to 250 students and young graduates from about 40 different nations participate. As the conference entirely takes place at the United Nations Office at Viennna, VIMUN is perhaps the most authetical MUN world-wide. MUN Club in Austria
