Yale Model United Nations

Yale Model United Nations (YMUN) is a four-day international relations simulation for secondary school students. Delegates from around the world interact with another by debating to solve complex world challenges.

By taking on the roles of United Nations representatives, members of other international bodies, participants are able to learn about the inner workings of global politics and problem solving. Nearly 2000 high school students will discuss global issues. The next YMUN will be the 47th session.
