Why should every student attend Model United Nations?

​

Over the last 50 years, these conferences have assumed significance in the co-curriculum of schools all over the world promoting interest in international relations and engaging students in debates and discussions on issues/conflicts that need resolution.

 

DINA – MUN & IA - MUN

​

Dr Indira Naidoo's Academy (South Africa) collaborated with IA -­ MUN (www.worldeducationevents.com) which marks a significant achievement , being the first school from Durban to achieve this honour. 

DINA - MUN & I A-MUN is a forum for students where they have an opportunity to simulate the United Nations. 

A valuable platform that tests students' skills of diplomacy, confidence and knowledge, it inspires young minds with the spirit of inquiry and understanding. DINA - MUN plays a key role in fostering students' leadership potential and commitment to civic engagement. The DINA - MUN conferences are completely student-run and are in keeping with the purpose of education at Dr Indira Naidoo's Academy to develop character, courage, confidence and self esteem in students, apart from providing them a sound basis in academics. The themes at the DINA - MUN conferences include international human rights violation, New World Order and Foreign Intervention, energy crisis, media as democracy etc. 

Model United Nations is more than an extra-curricular activity. It's a process where one is able to develop his or her capabilities through debates, negotiations and public-speaking. MUN forges your personality and provides essential diplomatic values to the youths.
