GLOBAL MODEL UNITED NATIONS

International Diplomacy and Leadership
on the Global Stage

Global Model United Nations (GMUN) is an international Model United Nations program organized by the World Federation of United Nations Associations (WFUNA). This global education program is designed around the decision making processes and meeting procedures used by the United Nations.

Participants serve as delegates of UN Member States. They research their assigned country’s policies and positions, then take part in formal speeches, debate, intergovernmental negotiation, and resolution drafting on major issues facing the international community.

GMUN goes beyond presenting opinions and competing in debate. It focuses on the practice of international diplomacy: understanding and coordinating different national positions, then building common agreement through dialogue and negotiation.

Through this process, students deepen their understanding of global issues while developing critical thinking, English communication, negotiation, problem solving, and global leadership skills.

KOREA DELEGATION

Selecting Middle & High School
Delegates from Korea

KIECC (Korea Institute for Education Culture and Contents) is authorized by the WFUNA Seoul Office to recruit and select middle and high school delegates from Korea for GMUN.

KIECC manages the selection of Korean participants, delegation formation, pre departure training, and participation preparation. It supports selected students throughout the program so they can fully demonstrate their abilities in GMUN’s international environment.

01 / INTRODUCTION

SEE THE UN.
UNDERSTAND THE WORLD.
FIND YOUR PATH.

The journey goes beyond visiting the UN.
Learn about the world and discover the questions and future path that are uniquely yours.

The challenges we face today, including climate change, human rights, health, peace, and sustainable development, cannot be solved by any one country alone.

Learn how people from different countries, cultures, and interests understand one another, negotiate, and build a shared solution.

That is the real reason to learn about the UN.

KIECC’s Global Citizenship & UN Training Program is more than an overseas study trip or UN tour.

Students learn about real issues in the international community, hear from experts and practitioners, and put their learning into practice through research and debate.

Through that process,

they move beyond asking “What problems does the world face?” and begin to ask: “Which issues matter to me, and what can I do?”

FROM GLOBAL ISSUES TO YOUR OWN QUESTIONS.Turn global issues
into your own questions.

02 / WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL

Visiting the UN and
understanding how it works are different experiences.

What matters is what you learn, think about, and do there.

Many overseas programs introduce students to new places.

This program focuses on more than simply visiting the UN as a place.

Students learn firsthand which issues the international community addresses, how countries reconcile different interests, and how shared solutions emerge through negotiation and consensus.

01 / LEARN THE SYSTEM

How does the world solve problems together?

Build a structured understanding of how the international community works, from the role of the UN and international organizations to cooperation and decision making among states.

02 / EXPLORE REAL GLOBAL ISSUES

Explore the real world beyond the textbook.

Examine climate, environment, health, human rights, peace, and sustainable development through the perspectives of different countries and stakeholders.

03 / MEET THE PEOPLE

Meet the world through the people shaping it.

Hear from international organization experts, global practitioners, and young leaders. Ask questions and turn an abstract idea of the international community into something concrete.

04 / DISCUSS · NEGOTIATE · COLLABORATE

The goal is to build agreement,
not find one correct answer.

Approach issues from the positions of different countries and stakeholders, then debate and negotiate with students who hold different views.

Practice understanding the other side and building consensus together, rather than simply pressing your own argument.

05 / SOLVE & PRESENT

Turn what you learn into ideas of your own.

Use research, analysis, and debate to develop solutions with your team, organize your thinking, and present it with clarity.

CORE COMPETENCIES

Three core competencies students will develop

01MULTILATERAL COOPERATION & CONSENSUSMultilateral Cooperation & Consensus
02GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES & CRITICAL THINKINGGlobal Perspectives & Critical Thinking
03COMMUNICATION & NEGOTIATIONCommunication & Negotiation

What students take away is more than
a single line saying, “I visited the UN.”

It is the experience of understanding global issues
and examining them from a perspective of their own.

03 / BEYOND ADMISSIONS

Universities look beyond
the name of an activity to
what you explored through the experience.

The UN name or participation in an overseas program does not by itself demonstrate a student’s academic ability.

What matters is

why you participated,
which questions you developed,
what you researched and analyzed,
how you understood different perspectives,
and how the experience shaped your later interests and inquiry.

FOR KOREAN UNIVERSITIES

For Korean University Admissions

Connect global issues to the subjects and majors that interest you. Research, compare, analyze, and develop your own questions through a meaningful academic inquiry.

Link real international challenges to a wide range of interests, including economics, business, environment, law, public policy, international development, science, and technology.

FOR GLOBAL UNIVERSITIES

For Global University Admissions

What matters is how a student’s interests and growth connect over time.

Explain what drew you to an issue, what you explored, what you discovered in the field, and how that experience led to further interests and action.

This process helps you develop a clearer academic interest and a more specific personal story.

DON'T JUST BUILD A RESUME.
BUILD YOUR STORY.

An experience that helps you define your own interests
and direction for inquiry.
