MUNER - NEW YORK
Model United Nations Experience Run
February/March 2023
MUNER – New York is the largest and most prestigious international experience organized by United Network. In the Big Apple, a stone’s throw from Times Square, together with more than 3000 students from all over the world you will participate in the annual meeting to compare your ideas and define new strategies for international politics. MUNER – New York takes you inside the most exciting simulation of the United Nations General Assembly taking place in New York: the Global Citizens Model United Nations (GCMUN).

How it takes place MUNER NY?
During the model, you will be confronted in English with young people from other countries of the world, using the United Nations rules of procedure and addressing the same issues that real ambassadors discuss inside the Glass Palace every day. The simulation work will be coordinated by international staff from the most prestigious American universities (including Harvard University). In addition to living an intense training experience, during the simulation you will have the opportunity to meet the diplomats working in New York at the Permanent Representations (Mission Briefing), as well as to learn about the various professionals working in the Italian Consulate General in New York and the Italian Permanent Mission to the United Nations.

We are in the heart of Manhattan. Or maybe we should say in the lungs of Manhattan. A walk in Central Park in the morning and a visit to the Metropolitan Museum in the afternoon
