“Emerging leaders need mentors to guide them, but they also need a network of peers to reassure them that they are not on the path alone”
VIDMUN envisages to offer its delegates an unrivalled Model UN experience by simulating highly-personalized, engaging and dynamic committees. It is structured to provide young delegates with a chance to establish and develop their diplomatic skills and further embellish their knowledge on policies and political background of nations. The overall framework reflects the contemporary issues and challenges faced by the world today and the delegates debated on the pressing international issues, forming blocs and drafting resolutions.
