X IzhMUN to be hosted by UdSU

Between November 25 and 29, 2019 Izhevsk will host X IzhMUN (Izhevsk Model of United Nations). This project is the winner of the Russian Contest of Youth Projects by Federal Agency for Youth Affairs among HEIs held in 2019.

The forum is organized by UdSU Institute of History and Sociology in the cooperation withthe UdSU Department of Youth and Social Policy, and the UdSU Scientific Library. IzhMUN represents a combination of conference and intellectual role play imitating UN work on modern international issues.

For four days of the event students become political representatives of the UN countries, discussing solutions of global issues. When their entry submission is examined, they get a name of the country they are to represent.
Participants have to change completely – they have to know the history and politics of a country they represent, so that they could express and defend opinion of the country on the issue being discussed. This is how this type of role plays reaches the purpose of it – helping students to try on different political modes of different countries, to learn how to work out a successful political strategy.

This year in the framework of X IzhMUN four bodies will be represented:

1. Security Council.
