The primary aim of the Model United Nations Assembly is, like so many programs of Rotary International, the building bridges of goodwill for world peace and understanding.
MUNA simulates the workings of the United Nations General Assembly by having teams of senior high school students represent a particular United Nations country in debates on matters of world political and social concern.
Students are provided in advance of the topics they are to debate, and must research the policies and opinions of their “adopted” country, which may well be, and often are, very different to those held by the students or of contemporary Australia. Students are encouraged to make sympathetic and informed comments on world issues.
Students are encouraged to dress in the style of their adopted country, and do so with great imagination.
