Countdown to Global Ismaili Youth Model United Nations 2021
Global Ismaili Youth Model United Nations is a MUN conference dedicated to Ismaili Youth aged 12-18 years. This year the conference will be held virtually connecting Ismaili Youth from across the globe. The platform will provide an opportunity for Ismaili Youth to debate on rising global issues, and collaborate with motivated Ismaili Youth from all over the world to form resolutions.
The conference will be held virtually in October 2021 and will cater to multiple time zones. The conference will include an Opening Ceremony, training days for Student Officers, training days for Delegates, Committee Sessions and a Closing Ceremony.
The Global IYMUN 2021 Conference, which is set to follow the THIMUN procedure, is an incredible way for our youth to develop a deeper understanding of these challenges as well as navigate their role in combating them as global citizens.
What is Model United Nations (MUN)?
Model United Nations (MUN) is an educational simulation of the United Nations in which participants can put into practice their learnings surrounding diplomacy, international relations, and the United Nations itself. MUN involves participants in public speaking, debating, and negotiations, in addition to providing opportunities for engaging in critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership. This experience overarchingly allows participants to develop a deeper understanding of current world issues as well as their role in combating these issues as global citizens.
