The Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA) is a significant international Rotary youth program in which our District participates.
 
Senior high school students develop an awareness of the United Nations and the countries they represent at a simulated UN Assembly.  The event provides an excellent forum for students to develop and practice their public speaking skills whilst debating on topical world issues.
 
MUNA has been held in many Rotary Districts around Australia since 1980.  The team that places first in MUNA in our district is invited to compete at the Australian National MUNA at the Old Parliament House in Canberra.   The first National MUNA took place in August 1997.
 
The United Nations continues to give enthusiastic support for the ongoing growth of this worthwhile project for youth.
 
MUNA was first held by Rotary at Winnipeg, Canada, and was introduced to Australia by the Rotary Club of Lake Cargelligo in 1980.  MUNA has spread throughout Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and world-wide.
