Program 03 / 04
Model United Nations Program
From the classroom to the international diplomatic arena. Find your voice. Lead with confidence.
Model United Nations is an educational simulation in which students represent countries and consider real international questions. They research an assigned position, deliver speeches, negotiate with other delegates, and work toward written resolutions.
Edvisors MUN USA provides guided preparation, virtually or in person, before students enter a committee room, and takes them on to participate in global MUN conferences. Training focuses on evidence-based research, clear communication, respectful disagreement, collaboration, and leadership under pressure.
How students prepare
A practical introduction to diplomacy, debate, and global affairs, in three moves.
Understand the issue
Evaluate credible sources and connect global questions to a country's priorities.
Make the case
Turn research into concise position papers, speeches, and evidence-based arguments.
Build agreement
Listen, negotiate, draft resolutions, and lead constructively across different viewpoints.
Five skills, one confident delegate
Five areas of preparation, one coherent path to committee readiness. Students learn by doing: guided research, timed speaking, procedural simulations, negotiation exercises, and resolution drafting.
Research and position papers
Students investigate committee topics, assess sources, and understand the interests and relationships that shape an assigned country's position.

Public speaking and debate
Students organize persuasive speeches, deliver them under time limits, and respond to questions or opposing arguments with composure.
- Opening statements
- Rebuttal practice
- Clear delivery
MUN rules and procedures
Students learn how formal committees operate and practice using motions, points, speakers' lists, and caucuses appropriately.

For schools and MUN coordinators
Give your students a shared purpose beyond the classroom. Schools are welcome to explore participation as a group, prepare a MUN delegation, or discuss how the program can support an existing MUN club, connecting research and writing with real-world debate.
Share your goals
Tell us about your school, grade levels, and MUN experience.
Discuss preparation
Explore program fit, virtual or in-person training, and weekly scheduling for your group.
Explore opportunities
Discuss conference pathways and the arrangements a delegation would need.
Participation in global conferences
Preparation leads to the real thing: students take part in global Model United Nations conferences, represent a country in committee, and exchange ideas with peers from different cultures.
