Model United Nations (MUN) are authentic simulations of the United Nations. These simulations are interactive and interdisciplinary teaching methods, where the complex structures and areas of operations are presented in a unique way. The participants actively participate in the decision-making process by representing a member state in an organization body, such as the General Assembly or the Security Council. In this manner, they gain experience as ‚diplomats’ and other political actors, obtain knowledge of the history, functioning and working areas of these multilateral organizations, and become aware of different negotiation strategies and conflict solving mechanisms („Learning by doing“).

This MUN-Track will give you valuable insights into the workings of MUN, how to possibly introduce it to your university, and exchange MUN-experiences and best practices. On Thursday and Friday, you will be able to experience a MUN at FU Berlin where students from different faculties will represent the Members of the UN Security Council. We invite educators and administrative staff with an interest in new teaching methods alike.

Dr. Peggy Wittke is organizing Model United Nations events at FU Berlin since 1998, in part in cooperation with the Federal Foreign Office and the United Nations Association of Germany. Since 2004, Model European Union events are also part of the programme. FUB has also been participating in international conferences since 1995, such as the National Model United Nations (New York City), the United Nations International Model United Nations (New York City), and the Harvard Model United Nations (Boston).
