Participating in Model United Nations (MUN) can be a life-changing experience. It allows individuals to learn about global affairs, develop critical thinking and research skills, and practice public speaking. However, once the conference is over, it can be challenging to know where to turn to continue to engage with global affairs, develop professionally, and connect with like-minded individuals. That’s where Model UN alum associations like MUNAA (Model United Nations Alumni Association) come in. Here are five reasons why you should consider joining MUNAA:
