Smart Diplomats is a Diplomatic Simulation Organized by Smart Nation, headquartered in Istanbul, Turkiye. Smart Diplomats empower youth by enhancing their skills of conferencing. We also aim to increase the accessibility of MUNs by bringing the experience of a conference online through our biennial, online SDMUN conference and by person.
The Smart Diplomats is a platform for the development of a young person's leadership, negotiating, and diplomatic skills. SDMUN strives to bring together young leaders from all over the world and to offer a forum for exchanging viewpoints and thoughts on issues facing the world.
By participating in Smart Diplomats MUN Conference, we hope you may build new skills, support the growth of existing ones, and hone your diplomatic and communication abilities. We dare you to come along with us on this unforgettable voyage! It's your turn to join thousands of young people from around the world in building a brighter future!
Our Mission & Vision
Smart Diplomats believes in democratizing the availability of the Model United Nations experience in engaging young people in the collaborative process of problem-solving and consensus-building and to foster leadership and positive engagement through the discussion and debate of the world’s most pressing problems.
Smart Diplomats believes that there is inherent worth in bringing together diverse groups of young people from different cultures and vast geographic distances, in real-time, for the process of gaining knowledge and laying the foundation for openness and understanding between people.
Smart Diplomats believes in the ability to bring young people together,
working together and at the highest academic standards, to promote human
development, tolerance, and peace. True to the spirit of the United Nations, SDMUN strives to foster a constructive forum for open dialogue on complex global issues, including international peace and security and economic and social progress. SDMUN stresses the in-depth examination and resolution of pressing issues by emphasizing the process over results. However, with great powers comes great responsibilities. There are limitations to negotiations especially when international diplomacies and great interests are involved. We hope through SDMUN, young people learn the importance of balancing national interests with the needs of the international community.
A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.
