“MUNA was amazing and changed my life. After MUNA I was so inspired that instead of following science as a career, I went on to do international politics.” - Participant
Purpose:

- To develop bridges of goodwill for the furtherance of world peace and understanding.
Goals:
- To develop in students an awareness of the United Nations and the international situation of the countries of the world.
