Model United Nations training is public speaking with a purpose. A MUN course for students teaches research, listening and how to prepare for MUN before the conference weekend. The aim is a clear speech and a useful resolution, and for many students a path toward Best Delegate.

Frequently asked questions
What is MUN and how do students prepare for it?
Model United Nations is a student conference where a delegate represents a country, researches a topic and speaks in committee. Preparation covers the committee, a position paper, an opening speech, lobbying and a resolution. SYM's online MUN training with Harishankar, a veteran of 100+ MUNs, takes students through that path from the first class.
How can my child overcome stage fear?
Stage fear eases when speaking is practised in small steps. Live classes teach breathing, grounding and how to structure a short speech. Students then practise between classes and perform at debates, speech contests and MUN conferences, so standing up to speak becomes familiar.
