SLN-MUN Programmes
SLN-MUN students are expected to debate and consider the legal, moral, economic, environmental, historical, social and cultural dimensions of varying political problems and issues that may be heard by various bodies at the United Nations.
SLN-MUN provides students with the opportunity to participate in individual and collective actions including decision making, voting on resolutions and amendments; negotiating, lobbying and creating resolutions; and presenting ideas of their delegation, addressing committee and speaking in favour and against motions.
By participating, students have the opportunity to develop a range of skills, including but not limited to: research, critical analysis, communication, public speaking and presentation, co-operation, team work and problem solving.
