Model UN is a simulation style roleplay of the United Nations Assemblies, Specialized Agencies, and Fictional organizations with interactive elements called ‘Crisis’. Each committee has its own topic, with students acting as ‘delegates’ and taking on the role of either a country or a character depending on the committee.
