About Us
- The UBC Okanagan Model United Nations’ vision is to develop strong and competitive delegations while educating participants through hands on learning about current affairs, international relations and diplomacy, and United Nations processes.
- 33 UBC Okanagan students will be attending MUN conferences in 2013. Participants investigate international issues by serving as diplomats of a particular country. They engage research to produce position papers then serve as diplomats at a conference to approach the world’s greatest problems.
- Through these experiences - during preparation, in committee sessions, and even in hallway caucuses - students develop an appreciation of various cultural perspectives, the frustration of negotiation, the rewards of cooperation, and an overall in-depth glance of international relations and diplomacy.

What is MUN?
- True to the mission of the United Nations, MUN serves as a forum in which students from colleges and universities around the world can meet to resolve the world’s greatest challenges: international peace, economic crises, social progress, human rights, environmental protection, and more.
- It is the passion in which students approach the debate, the dedication the students bring to drafting comprehensive resolutions, and the spirit of international diplomacy that make MUN an unparalleled experience.
