About MUNEMA

Model United Nations (Model UN or MUN) is an educational simulation of the United Nations conferences in which the students learn about how to be diplomatic, about different countries and cultures, about international relations and about the United Nations and its committees. The first MUN conferences were held in 1949, four years after the foundation of the United Nations in San Francisco, California (1945).

Participants in Model United Nations conferences can be delegates (representing one country) or members of the Secretariat (Secretary General, Director General, technical advisors, chiefs of the committees and a president, an assessor and a moderator for each committee).

Students do some research about their country and the topic they will be addressing to be able to speak about the position of their delegations. In each committee, delegates write resolutions about the topic that the committee has been working on with possible solutions of the problems discussed. At the end of the conference, the students who perform best are given an award.

MUNEMA is the Model UN for the Escuela Mexicana Americana. The first MUNEMA conferences were held in 2007. A year after, the school decided to create Global Day so that students could have the opportunity to practice before the real MUNEMA conferences. This year it is the 10 anniversary of Global Day, and the Escuela Mexicana Americana still supports the organization of Global Day and the MUNEMA conferences as they are considered part of a valuable project.
