ONUMUN gives a unique and interactive opportunity for university students from all over the world to become familiar with international issues and to enhance students' understanding of the institutional and political in-workings of the UN organization. At this role-playing game participants assume roles of diplomats representing various member-states of the UN and simulate the debate happening in several bodies of the UN and one body of NATO, following the corresponding rules of procedure.

We have a great traditional support from the General Consulates accredited in Odessa and Representation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine in Odessa.
