of Minnesota
Dedicated to educating, inspiring and mobilizing Minnesotans to support the principles and vital work of the United Nations and its Agencies.
Model UN
UNA-MN is more than advocacy and informative programs — we support Minnesota educators across the state in the pursuit of great educational programming.
Model UN is a simulation of the UN General Assembly and its other multilateral bodies where students perform delegate roles while debating topics such as gender equality, climate action, global health, and more.
​
Each year, UNA-MN hosts fall and spring conferences where students from across the state come together to debate important, real world issues that the United Nations faces.
Our Fall 2024 Model UN Conference was held at Macalester College on Friday, November 15, 2024.
Additional Conference information will be posted as it becomes available. ​For more information, please contact UNA-MN at INFO@UNAMN.ORG

"Student delegates debate topics such as human rights, arms control and security, environment and climate change, sustainable development, international trade and peacekeeping. Students think critically about global issues and explore these issues from the perspective of the countries of the world. Students develop leadership skills and a first-person understanding of the importance and challenge of solving problems collectively; and the interconnection of all countries and peoples. Since 2004 over 28,000 students (junior and senior high) have participated in the United Nations Association of Minnesota Model UN program."
