Participants of the Model United Nations conferences become delegates of different countries for a day. They learn to use their diplomacy and international relations skills in solving international conflicts, and try to bring peace to the Middle East. This type of simulation has very deep traditions and has been organised since 1949.
The theme of this year's Vilnius Model United Nations 2017: Solving the Conflict in Syria. Before the event, students are assigned to represent specific countries (2 students per country) and have to prepare for their assignments in advance: they analyse current situation and prepare their solution to the conflict in the Middle East. They present and defend the assigned country’s position during the education simulation event.
