HELIMUN (Helsinki International Model United Nations) is a Model United Nations conference, where students simulate United Nations -like conditions. The aim of the Model United Nations is to seek, through discussion and debate, solutions to problems of the world such as human rights and disarmament issues. Students participating in MUN learn how the real United Nations works, what lobbying, formal debate, and resolutions are and why they are important when they try to solve problems. They can also practice their language skills (the language of most MUN conferences is English) and hopefully give them an understanding of the world’s problems. HELIMUN takes place at Kulosaaren Yhteiskoulu (KSYK, Helsinki, Finland) every May.
