The NZ MUN is a one-week trip to New Zealand in July to participate in UN Youth New Zealand's, largest Model UN event.
This is an opportunity for Australian students to test their skills and participate in Model United Nations with UN Youth New Zealand. They will have the chance to learn from New Zealand students, experience a new and different type of MUN procedure and culture, and travel overseas to represent UN Youth Australia in Model UN.
The trip will also give delegates the chance to learn about New Zealand and Australia relations, and New Zealand more generally, and see some key political and cultural sights.
International Activities designed for young people, by young people
UN Youth Australia’s International Activities are educational trips designed for high school students to explore the critical ideas and forces affecting today’s complex international society. Selected from all across Australia, ‘Delegates’ (our nickname for participants) embark on a tour to a country or region of countries to challenge their understanding and perspectives on issues and themes of global importance.
Tours are led by Facilitators and Welfare-trained UN Youth Australia volunteers and generally include:
- Workshops, designed by UN Youth Australia's education team.
- Consultations with relevant organisations, non-profits, and governments including their representations.
- Site Visits, to explore the history and current reality of how global themes and ideas have shaped our evolving societies.
- And general exploration of cities and cultural sites to immerse you in the country and its society.
