BrizMUN is the premier Model United Nations (MUN) in Queensland, and the largest city-based MUN in Australia. The conference builds on the successes, proud traditions, and legacy of MUNs at the University of Queensland, Queensland University of Technology, and Griffith University.
BrizMUN is an opportunity for students to put theory into practice: it provides them with a platform on which to utilise academically acquired knowledge of law, international affairs, journalism, environmental science, medicine, and economics in the context of real world scenarios. BrizMUN organisers attract students from these diverse backgrounds by selecting issues that involve a wide range of interests and areas of expertise.
The 2012 Secretariat are unwavering in their commitment to cement the growth that previous BrizMUNs have created in student networking, strengthening intervarsity cooperation, fostering a culture of youth diplomacy in the city, and with promoting student engagement in international issues. Delegates also derive great personal benefit from their experiences at BrizMUN.
The conference improves their self-confidence as well as their capacity for negotiation and teamwork; it enhances their ability to express ideas in a professional environment; and it encourages an understanding of national and international affairs; and allows them to meet new people. BrizMUN is undoubtedly a meeting point for students - and would be professionals - of a high calibre. Many have gone on to represent themselves, their university and Australia at regional or international MUNs, these including the prestigious Global Model United Nations Conference (GMUN) at the UN Headquarters in Geneva.
