KoppelMUN Details
We provide students a chance to develop their skills in debating, public speaking, discussing international issues and much more. The conference "KoppelMUN" will be organised for the third time this year. We hope to see you all in Amersfoort. A Model United Nations (MUN) conference is a simulation of the real-life United Nations committees. During MUN's students take on the role of ambassadors representing different countries and representatives of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). The idea of participating in such a conference is simple – it allows one to gain insight in the way the world functions also teaching students practical knowledge about international relations, diplomacy and negotiations.The goal of the debates is to reach a consensus which could be applied in the real world. To gain as much as possible from the conference, each participant is encouraged to engage actively in the debates. They should be present during every committee session, observe the behaviour of other delegates and focus on representing their country's policy. The delegates learn to break away from national self-interest and develop international cooperation. This requires engagement in discussions, which eventually lead to the creation of a resolution - a document summarising the work of each committee, which should contain a possible solution on the spoken topic.However, participating in an MUN conference will not only drastically improve your knowledge on important matters. But it will also be an opportunity to boost your debating techniques, develop your fluency in the English language and to meet new people. During a Model United Nations conference you will get to know many different people with different opinions, interests and backgrounds. It creates the possibility to learn social skills and even create long-lasting international friendships.
