Model United Nations

Model United Nations (MUN) in NIS IB

This is an organisation in which students simulate the negotiations of committees and United Nations bodies. Participants choose a country and explore the position of their chosen country on a particular topic. MUN engages and trains participants in speaking, debating and writing skills, as well as critical thinking, teamwork and leadership skills.  It also enhances their interpersonal skills through close, realistic negotiations that reinforce critical thinking skills.

Participation in the Model United Nations club teaches:

  • Be critical of global issues
  • To express oneself publicly without worry
  •  Discuss global issues
  • Expanding new horizons of knowledge

Since opening in 2017, the MUN club at our school has achieved:

  • Participation in local and international conferences
  • Several awards in the categories «Best Position», «Best Delegate», «Most Outstanding Delegate».
  • Organising your own conference in 2019
  • Cooperation with other MUN clubs in Nur-Sultan and in Kazakhstan
