THE CONFERENCE
Vancouver Youth Model United Nations was founded in 2005 with the goal of introducing younger delegates (grades 7-10) to the world of Model UN. VYMUN strives to provide students with an educational experience that allows them to explore global issues in a learning-based environment. Over the course of the weekend, delegates develop diplomacy, public speaking, and negotiation skills, all the while grasping a more thorough understanding of international relations and world affairs.
