What Is It Like to Be a MUNner- An Experience Podcast

-

 Greetings to all listeners and readers!!

A MUN is not a mere non-academic activity happening in schools or colleges. It is a journey for many, while for others it's their life changer. Beyond the main MUN conference as such, there is a lot of things for a MUNner to take away from them and apply in one’s life. Here is an amazing surprise for all MUN enthusiasts. 

MUN has moved beyond the traditional space and has always been taken seriously as a passionate activity by many of the students. They are nicknamed as ‘MUNners’ in the circuits. MUN is a simulated model of the United Nations and converted into a form that students can understand and comprehend well. Since March 2020, with the raging pandemic, gatherings have been cancelled across the globe, so are MUNs. Online MUNs are now substituting the traditional ones. 

If you don't know what a MUN is, then please read. 

We present to you a podcast episode recorded and streamed in a joint collaboration between the MEC MUN Society and the Journal of Knowledge.

But the main reason Human Rights came into the mainstream discussion was Refugee Crisis. It is not a new concept, but found relevance in the last decade due to a series of events starting from the Syrian Civil War in 2011, then war against terror in Iraq, Libya, Yemen, parts of Africa etc. Although the debate of Refugee crisis grabbed global attention only after it reached Europe.

Today we are decoding the events leading to that, how Europe reacted, it's...
