MUN (Model United Nations) Open Session Thursday October 3rd, MPB 1 from 2:15. Come along and see how MUN works and watch our speakers and debaters in a formalised situation. Thira Chartsakulkanjanajarn says ” Words are power. There is nothing quite like words. They have the ability to alter the course of history, to change the world. However, the use of words is like a muscle. It must be trained and sculpted under vigorous conditions in order for it to become extremely proficient. This is what the Model United Nations aims to do. It is essentially a gym for those interested in perfecting their skills with words. It teaches students the beautiful art of manipulating words in order to convey a certain point. It teaches students how to negotiate with others, and how to compromise. All of this is within a global context, so students get much more than just training in the ways of articulation, they also gain an insight into current situations occurring in the world”
