The Model UN Club at EMS aims to promote and encourage awareness, understanding, tolerance, and acceptance of the world's peoples, cultures, beliefs, values, and attitudes by participating in a UN simulation, to enable students to contribute to the richness of cultural diversity, to encourage an awareness of current events and to instill an eagerness to embrace the challenges of a more global future.

Model United Nations is a simulation of the UN General Assembly and other multilateral bodies. In Model UN, students step into the shoes of ambassadors from UN member states to debate current issues on the organization's agenda. While playing their roles as ambassadors, student delegates make speeches, prepare draft resolutions, negotiate with allies and adversaries, resolve conflicts, and navigate the Model UN conference rules of procedure - all in the interest of mobilizing international cooperation to resolve problems that affect countries all over the world.
