What is Model United Nations?
With the support of the school board, Deutsche Schule Barcelona has been participating in national and international MUN conferences on a regular basis for many years. These conferences are prepared in weekly meetings, in which the students debate political issues following UN procedures. This helps them to develop relevant skills such as:
- public speaking, networking and leadership
- conducting in-depths research on current politics and the background and policies of the respective countries
- adopting formal procedures, i.e. writing policy statements and devising resolutions
