Tackling serious and often grave issues with a sense of enjoyment and fun has always struck me as an odd mix but also something which makes MUN so unique. No-one would notice the delegate for Iran sitting next to the delegate for Israel at lunch, but that is the beauty of it.

An ability to sit and listen to an argument you disagree with, even without a ‘right to reply’ is, I think, an incredibly valuable skill. I also like the thought of delegates leaving WesMUN with a really deep understanding of a particular issue, and being able to explain that to friends and family.
