For teams of Year 11-12 students, MUNA is a one day event that encourages students to learn about other nations and to understand and appreciate the workings of the United Nations (UN) while they develop debating skills and gain self-confidence in public speaking. the even will occur from 18-19 May at the University of Melbourne.
Here are the groups representing the Interact Club at Mac Robertson Girls' High:
- Group 1: Reina Conway & Saanvi Hiremath
- Group 2: Samantha Harianto & Ava Lutton
- Group 3: Grace Li & Nusayeeba Zohra
Teams of three students from Year 11 or Year 12 are preferred, but students from Year 10 may be accepted on request from schools, if space permits. The teams select a country; research its history, politics, economics, peoples, international alignment and policies in current world affairs.
Having chosen a country, they then debate selected resolutions from each country’s point of view in a simulated United Nations Assembly. The debates reproduce genuine UN debates often with a fine flow of rhetoric, points of order, motions of dissent and bloc walkouts!
MUNA is actually a United Nations initiative and MUNA events are held throughout the world.
