What is a Model United Nations ?
Model United Nations is a popular activity for those interested in learning about the work of the United Nations. It is an academic simulation of United Nations conferences in which students role-play as UN delegates and represent a state in a committee of the United Nations.
As well as defending the interests of the state they represent, they have for mission to write a resolution following the formalism of the diplomats from the General Assembly of the United Nations states.
The United Nations simulations are classics in the university field worldwide, and more commonly for passionate in debates.
Model United Nations take place all over the world, and every year, hundreds of thousands of students on all educational levels participate. Many of today´s leaders in law, government, business and the arts participated in Model UN as a student. Putting yourself in a diplomat´s shoe for a few days can train you to the operation of United Nations procedures. To do so, each participant is required to do the research needed to take part in international negations.The goal at the end of the simulation is to find some consensual decisions, with a final intent to keep peace.

FAQs
The Smart Diplomats Model United Nations Conference (or, SDMUN for short) is an annual Model UN conference held online for delegates of all nationalities. We've welcomed over 300 delegates from the United States, Singapore, Pakistan, Taiwan, India, Australia, South Africa, and many more. We are a pioneer in the realm of online Model UN, and our diverse Secretariat makes us one of the only online conferences to deliver a truly global experience
SDMUN adopts the standard Model United Nations rules of procedure, albeit through an online medium (i.e. Zoom). Moderated and unmoderated caucuses, the general speakers’ list, and opening speeches are still moderated by the chairpersons of a committee. Certain features such as note-passing have been replaced with online functionalities, for instance, usage of the Zoom chat. You may refer to the SDMUN ROP document for more information.
You will need to have a reliable internet connection, access to the Zoom application, and a clear set of speakers and microphones.
