Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA)
Last Edited: Sat, 11 February 2017 | Report Error
The National Model United Nations Assembly 2017 will be held at the Museum of Australian Democracy (Old Parliament House) from August 18 to August 20, 2017.
MUNA stands for Model United Nations Assembly, which simulates the workings of the U.N. Assembly by having teams of two or three senior students represent a particular U.N. country in debates on matters of world political and social concern.
The main aims are to develop in students an awareness of the United Nations and the international situation of other countries in the world, and to:
- enable students to improve their public speaking and debating skills,
- encourage them to make sympathetic and informed comments on world problems,
- share their opinions and friendship with students from other schools and;
- lay the foundation for the free sharing of ideas across national boundaries which is the essence of a truly open society tolerant to differences of race, religion, and political opinion.
