Business Description
Berkeley Model United Nations 62nd session is March 7-9, 2014! We can't wait to see you all there!
Berkeley Model United Nations is a student run organization on the UC Berkeley campus dedicated to planning and hosting the biggest Model United Nations conference on the West Coast, and the oldest conference in the nation. Every March, over 1,500 students from all over the world come to Berkeley to participate in Berkeley Model United Nations. Entering its 60th session, BMUN's mission is to spread awareness of international issues and the spirit of diplomacy through UN simulations. We also aim to create an educational experience for high school students, helping them realize their potential in public speaking as well as in policy debate.
Who are we?
The BMUN Secretariat comprises of undergraduate students from UC Berkeley. Coming from a diverse set of majors and backgrounds, each member of the secretariat shares a common interest in international relations and a motivation to spread awareness of global issues to high school students.
Outreach
BMUN's Outreach program is dedicated to helping local high schools build their Model UN programs. As the program continues to grow around the Bay Area, BMUN strives to help students increase their global awareness and develop public speaking skills. BMUN also hosts its annual Delegate Workshop for Bay Area schools in October of each year, where the Secretariat teaches MUN rules and procedures as well as important international issues facing our world today.
Going Green
BMUN is the world's first sustainable Model United Nations conference. Implemented during the 57th session, BMUN's sustainability effort has contributed to environmental awareness and reduced our carbon footprint. This has been achieved through composting, using tap water, and reducing paper use during our conference and throughout the course of the year in planning our conference.
