MUN is an extra-curricular activity in which students typically role play delegates to the United Nations and simulate UN committees.  This activity takes place at MUN conferences, which is usually organized by a high school or college MUN club. At the end of the conferences, outstanding delegates in each committee are recognized and given an award certificate; the Best Delegate in each committee, however, receives a gavel.  Thousands of middle school, high school and college students across the country and around the world participate in MUN, which involves substantial researching, public speaking, debating, and writing skills, as well as critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership abilities.
