To promote collaborations between local United Nations Association (UNA) and Model United Nations (MUN) groups, providing a national discussion body to further development of UNAs, democratising MUNs whilst engaging and supporting students across the UK.
PURPOSE OF DEPARTMENT OF UNA & MUN
Firstly, to connect student and youth UNAs from across the United Kingdom, providing a national collaborative platform to share best practices, stimulate conversation and promote campaigns with the support of the wider UNA-UK network. Secondly, to democratise Model United Nations (MUN) and make it accessible to British and International young people in the UK. We aim to use MUN as a platform to educate youth on global governance and decision-making whilst providing them with the opportunity to actively participate in that process.

Aman has participated in multiple MUN conferences and now is eager to step behind the scenes and increase inclusivity for all students. Aman intends to support universities and schools nationally to set up MUN conferences so that students are more aware of conflict on a global scale and how the UN functions in order to tackle these issues.
