NMUN required you to use your projection skills during simulations and when giving speeches. You were also required to use your creative skills in having to role-play another country's position. You were also asked to draw upon your diplomatic skills when trying to achieve results by persuading members of the delegation. In addition, you also had to use a great deal of your own common sense when caucusing with members from other delegations. Because it is gained through individual research and active participation in simulations and committees, it is much greater a part of our retained learning than lectures and presented readings.
Simulations provide training few people receive unless they take a speech course.
Overall, these properties make NMUN the best learning. The benefits that I received from participating in the model UN are numerous. I learned a lot about Political Interaction. I consider very important because any Political Science major needs to know behind the scenes as well as factual information. I also learned a great deal about the world situation as it exists today and the problem it confronts.
