Welcome to Doha College Model United Nations
Model United Nations (MUN), is a simulation of the United Nations and gives students the opportunity to develop a wide range of skills and attributes.
These include leadership, communication and negotiating, as well as developing an in-depth knowledge of current affairs. Students learn to play the role of United Nations Delegate for any given country on a range of contentious modern issues. In doing so they are taught to draft resolutions, publicly defend their country’s position, and convince others to accept their view or reject an opposing resolution. One of the most exciting things about DCMUN is to run the club and arrange conferences that are usually attended by schools across Qatar and around the world. Our members also take lead positions in the largest youth conference in the Middle East (THIMUN Qatar) as well as a plethora of local initiatives aimed at realising the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

No matter what role a student decides to undertake within a conference, they will learn something new about themselves and the planet we call our home. DCMUN is a seed bed for growing leaders, allowing them to learn the skills they need to make changes and improve our world.
