Smart Diplomats Online MUN Conferences designed to give young people the real SDMUN experience, from the comfort of their homes. Participants are tested on the basis of in-depth knowledge, research insights and diplomatic skills to solve global problems in different UN committees.
We seek to help foster the Model UN community globally and encourage people from around the world to voice their opinions and make a change that helps the whole world benefit.
We encourage high school students to take part in this two-days conference, whether it is their first conference or not, to gain a better understanding of many global affairs. We hope to make this a great learning experience and create good memories for all participants.
