01The basics

What is Model United Nations?

Model United Nations is a simulation of UN bodies in which students act as the diplomats of an assigned country.

Member state
The country you represent, assigned by the conference.
Position paper
Your country's position on a topic, in writing.
Caucus
Negotiation outside formal debate.
Draft resolution
The text a committee amends and votes on.
Placard
The card you raise to speak or vote.

02Weekly training

Four skills, practised every week.

Weekly training sessions in public speaking, speech writing, position papers, negotiation and UN procedure — theory turned into skills, all year long.

  1. Speaks

    Speeches

    Written, delivered against the clock, rewritten.

  2. Writes

    Position papers

    Your country's position and proposals, researched before the conference.

  3. Negotiates

    Informal sessions

    Coalitions and resolutions, with up to 50 delegates at once.

  4. Represents

    Team work

    A country and a committee for each delegate, one delegation behind them.

03Simulations

Simulations, at home and abroad.

Throughout the year, the delegation takes part in multiple simulations, including an international trip. It also hosts its own events, welcoming students from other universities and creating opportunities to connect, collaborate, and network.

04The year

Preparing today, negotiating tomorrow.

  1. Start of the year

    Information session and applications

    An information session explains the selection process. Candidates then apply through the delegate application form.

  2. Selection

    A delegation is formed

    Around twenty ULB students are selected, from political science and law to economics, arts and communication. From then on they work as one team representing their assigned country at multiple MUN simulations.

  3. Every week

    Training in Brussels

    Weekly training sessions in public speaking, speech writing, position papers, negotiation and UN procedure — theory turned into skills, all year long.

  4. During the year

    Simulations and an international trip

    Throughout the year, the delegation takes part in multiple simulations, including an international trip. It also hosts its own events, welcoming students from other universities and creating opportunities to connect, collaborate, and network.

  5. End of the year

    The next delegation

    Three delegates are selected to become mentors and step into the roles of Head Delegates. By the end, the entire delegation leaves with a suitcase full of memories, invaluable experience, and lifelong friendships.
