A Model United Nations (MUN) Conference is an academic simulation of the United Nations where students act as delegates representing countries or international bodies. At PS-MUN, participants engage in debates, write resolutions, and collaborate to tackle real-world global challenges.
PS-MUN stands out through its core values of diplomacy, inclusion, and educational depth. With a diverse international group and well-trained chairs, PS-MUN offers a supportive yet challenging environment for all delegates.
Participants should:
-Select a country (delegation)
-Join a designated committee
-Research their country’s position on each agenda topic
-Draft resolutions reflecting their assigned country’s views
-Prepare a policy statement
Delegates participate in lobbying to form alliances and merge draft resolutions. These are then debated in their assigned committees, where students negotiate, amend, and vote on the proposals
A committee is a group of delegates who discuss specific global topics. Each delegate represents a country’s stance. Committee Chairs guide the debate and ensure procedures are followed.
Chairs are student officers who moderate committee sessions, keep the debate organized, and guide delegates. They also help select the topics and provide research assistance.
The agenda outlines the topics to be discussed during the conference. These are prepared by the Organising Team and Secretariat and shared on the PS-MUN website ahead of time.
A delegation represents a country and usually includes 6-10 delegates, each participating in a different committee to represent the country’s views.
The Ambassador is the most experienced member of a delegation, responsible for any issues that may arise.
During lobbying, delegates collaborate with others who share similar policies to form alliances. Together, they merge their draft resolutions into one document to be debated.
Debates involve presenting, amending, and voting on draft resolutions. Delegates argue in favor or against clauses, propose changes, and ultimately vote on the resolution
