Invitational Model United Nations
for High School Students 

August 20-22, 2010
Washington, DC

 

Welcome to the Invitational Model UN (IMUN)
in Washington, DC!
IMUN is a high school conference designed for
high school students from around the world.

 

Model United Nations is a simulation of the real United Nations.  School teams are assigned to different countries with teams of students representing different UN committees. After extensive research on their countries’ policies toward specific topics, students work within their respective committees together to formulate resolutions and reports, the tools that the United Nations use to initiate action that affects the world.

IMUN is an exciting way for students to learn about the cutting edge issues in international affairs. It increases their awareness of different systems of government, international law, and international organizations while allowing them to gain valuable researching, public speaking, and decision-making skills.
