There is an opportunity for teams of 3 if required, but this is not encouraged
Teams will be allocated a country to represent and provided with model United Nations resolutions. Teams will familiarise themselves with their country and the resolutions so they can determine which ones are perinate to their country.
During the weekend students will learn about the workings of the United Nations, the Security Council and general rules of debating. Taking part in MUNA improves public speaking and debating skills as well as encouraging them to make sympathetic and informed comments on world problems.
