What it does
Representing a state, negotiating and drafting resolutions: CriMUN, MUNWAR and delegations sent to conferences in France.
The MUN pôle brings together students who want to learn to represent a state, debate international questions and understand how the United Nations and other diplomatic bodies work.
CriMUN by CINUP and MUNWAR by CINUP set the rhythm of the year. Regular training sessions and workshops build public speaking, negotiation and resolution drafting, for beginners and experienced delegates alike. Advanced MUNs are held in English.
