Overview:
The concept of JASMUN, which stands for Jerusalem American School Model United Nations, is an international format of debate that allows young, ambitious individuals to take part in simulations of the United Nations by representing different countries and NGOs/IGOS in different committees that debate a range of relevant issues.
It develops debating and negotiating skills as well as argument-building and framing techniques while at the same time giving you the chance to travel to new countries and meet people from many different cultures and backgrounds.
JASMUN offers invaluable experiences that can only be developed through hands-on work discussing and trying to solve global issues, and really does spark a huge passion for making the world a better place.
What is the Model United Nations?
Model United Nations is an educational role-playing game, the aim of which is to learn about the decision-making process of UN bodies through personal experience.
During the Model United Nations, a session of the UN General Assembly, the Security Council or another body is simulated. Each participant in the Model shall represent the United Nations Member State designated to them, whose views and other relevant background information he or she has previously researched. These are globally organised role-playing games for high school and college students; it is possible to add special features to the traditional format according to the interests and skills of the participants.
Model United Nations are diverse in nature, from multi-day international simulations organised by UN associations or educational institutions to short sessions taking place during school lessons.
The aim of all Models is to create the most realistic UN experience possible, in which participants remain in their role throughout the session and act within a given framework, seeking realistic and workable solutions to any day-to-day political problem that is threatening international security, stability or adherence to human rights.
Model United Nations are very popular all over the world. This is usually an extracurricular activity, but in some countries Model United Nations is also taught as a separate subject.
Participating in a Model United Nations gives young people new knowledge and skills, opens doors and helps to build international friendships that last for years. A number of later top politicians and eminent personalities have taken part in the Model United Nations, such as former US President Barack Obama, former UN Secretary-General Ban-Ki Moon, the King of the Netherlands Willem-Alexander, Chelsea Clinton and many others.
