Diversity is a Key Ingredient to NMUN Success

The continued growth of National Model United Nations (NMUN) simulations has resulted in more diverse conference attendees and a more accurate reflection of the United Nations. More than 50% of our participants are from outside the U.S.

NMUN simulations benefit from the diverse voices of delegations from around the world. To help promote international awareness and diversity, we encourage advisors and head delegates to comprise delegations reflecting the diverseness of their own campuses. Although we believe our conferences benefit from participation of diverse populations, we do not impose quotas on any group.

Participant Schools from UN Member Countries – Reflecting the United Nations

Schools from these UN Member countries sent delegations to NMUN•NY 2013, contributing to the NMUN initiative to provide participants with the insights needed to become better global citizens and the next generation of international leaders.
