JKS MUN

Healing Wounds

The concept of MUN. which stands for Model United Nations, is an international format of debate that allows young, ambitious individuals to take part in simulations of the United Nations by representing different countries and NGOs/GOS in different committees that debate a range of relevant issues. It develops debating and negotiating skills as well as argument-building and framing techniques. In reference to SDG 16 and 17 healing wounds is set to remind humans that through sustainable and strong institutions we are to overcome situations that have impacted and damaged us severely as a whole. MUN offers invaluable experiences that can only be developed through hands-on work discussing and trying to solve global issues, and really does spark a huge passion for making the world a better place.
