Our Mission

At ColtsMUN XIV, our mission is to empower middle school students with a foundational understanding of Model United Nations and a genuine enthusiasm for international relations and diplomacy. Through a collaborative and supportive approach, we provide an engaging platform where participants can develop critical skills such as public speaking, negotiation, and critical thinking. We aim to foster global awareness and inspire the next generation of leaders by encouraging them to explore and discuss pressing global issues in a supportive environment. Our commitment to education and leadership is at the heart of everything we do, as we strive to cultivate informed and passionate advocates for positive change in the world.

FAQs

  • Model United Nations (MUN) is a competitive learning simulation where students, or delegates, represent countries or characters and discuss global issues. Participants build important skills like public speaking, communication, negotiation, and research. MUN improves understanding of international relations, boosts analytical skills, and encourages advocacy. This experience fosters teamwork and helps young leaders voice their views on important topics like climate change, human rights, and security, contributing to a politically informed youth.

  • It's very easy to join CBA Model UN!

    If you school currently has a Model UN club affiliated with ColtsMUN, go to the advisor and ask to join!

    If your school is not actively participating in ColtsMUN, please reach out to the Secretary-General so we can see about establishing a chapter at your school.

  • As with any club or activity, there is a fair amount of work involved. Delegates are required to write a 1-2 page Position Paper due one week preceding the conference date of December 4th, 2026.

    Delegates are encouraged to research their topic fully and bring notes with them. Delegates are also highly encouraged to attend one or several of our Parliamentary Procedure meetings on Zoom.

    Doing these things will ensure that a delegate has the very best time at our conference. Remember, if you're ever stuck, confused, lost, or nervous -- please reach out. We are here and excited to help you!

  • Model United Nations helps students develop a wide range of valuable academic, leadership, and communication skills. Through research, debate, and collaboration, delegates strengthen their public speaking, critical thinking, writing, and problem-solving abilities while gaining a deeper understanding of global issues and current events.

    Students often see benefits beyond the conference itself, as the skills developed through MUN can improve performance in history, English, social studies, and other classroom settings. Delegates also learn how to work effectively with others, think from multiple perspectives, and confidently present their ideas.

    By participating in Middle MUN, students build a strong foundation for success in high school, college, and future professional environments, setting them apart as informed, engaged, and capable leaders.

  • Conference Awards:

    The Secretaries-General List Award(s) -- This award will be awarded to 3-5 delegates who the Secretariat deem to be an excellent example of what it means to be a delegate.
