Club History

In 2006, NOSMUN was first founded, consisting of nothing but a few participants. However, with the students' passionate, unconditional dedication, it was only a matter of time before the club flourished. After almost 16 years since its foundation, the club consists of approximately 250 members and counting. Thirty of said members shape NOSMUN’s secretariat team; a visionary group of students who work tirelessly to guarantee that the club continuously functions as effectively and efficiently to provide immaculate and talented resolutions; further enhancing the minds of our youthful delegates in the hope that they believe they can make a change in this world and overcoming the current fallacies and challenges that the globe faces today.

 

Vision

We strive to prepare our youth for the future and to encourage knowledge of international affairs, research, understanding of parliamentary procedure, analytical reasoning, problem-solving, negotiation, oral and written presentation of ideas, and professionalism.
