Overview
Welcome to a journey of diplomatic discovery and leadership development, the Model United Nations Institute at UCLA. This camp is a melting pot of debate, politics, and diplomacy, where your child gets to don the mantle of a global leader, grappling with pressing issues of our times. The MUN Institute is more than just a camp; it's a vibrant platform where young minds sharpen their public speaking prowess, enhance their debate skills, and receive valuable feedback from seasoned mentors. Picture a setting where your child collaborates with peers, delving into global issues from myriad perspectives, and working together to concoct solutions. Every day brings new challenges, from making speeches to negotiating with others, from finding solutions to global predicaments to receiving one-on-one feedback from college-level MUN mentors. By week's end, you'll see a marked improvement in your child's communication skills, public speaking, and self-confidence. But it's not just about honing skills. The MUN Institute offers a unique opportunity for your child to step into the shoes of a UN diplomat, representing different countries, and arguing from a perspective that may differ from their own. This exercise in empathy is an invaluable life lesson, teaching them to collaborate despite differences and find common ground.
With attendees hailing from 40+ countries, the MUN Institute fosters a global learning environment. It's a cultural exchange program where your kids engage with people from diverse backgrounds, creating lifelong friendships that span countries and continents.
