What’s going on in Reading?
When not absorbed in debate or enjoying the company of fellow delegates at our wonderful socials, you might consider getting a bite to eat or relaxing with a drink around town taking in Reading’s picturesque surroundings.
For food, the Oracle Riverside provides anyone with an abundance of choice. With cuisine for all palettes and menus from around the world, there is something for even the fussiest of eaters! The town centre provides people with even more choice, from restaurants to bars to classic pubs. When not discussing international politics, RUMUN has been known to relax in several places, including, but not limited to, Handmade Burger, Cosmo’s, and Ed’s Diner.
The town also is home to a rich variety of shops and to satiate those with a need for retail therapy following an exhilarating weekend of debate.
What is MUN?
Model United Nations (also Model UN or MUN) is an academic simulation of the United Nations that aims to educate participants about civics, current events, effective communication, globalization and multilateral diplomacy. In standard Model UN, students take on roles as diplomats and participate in a simulated session of an intergovernmental organization (IGO). Participants research a country, take on roles as diplomats, investigate international issues, debate, deliberate, consult, and then develop solutions to world problems. More recently, simulation of other deliberative bodies, such as the United States National Security Council, has been included in Model United Nations, even if they are completely unrelated to the UN or international affairs as a whole.
During a conference, participants must employ a variety of communication and critical thinking skills in order to represent the policies of their country. These skills include public speaking, group communication, research, policy analysis, active listening, negotiating, conflict resolution, note taking, and technical writing. However, school delegation formats vary from region to region.
