Unlike other Model UN conferences, JEMUN uses a unique approach to problem-solving that emphasizes collaboration over competition. Our signature approach helps JEMUN participants develop an appreciation of differing viewpoints and experience the rewards of teamwork. Using this unique and effective approach, JEMUN delegates pool their knowledge, skills, and efforts to reach innovative solutions to some of our world's most pressing issues.
“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” - Helen Keller
JEMUN is the first and only Model UN conference in the world to use LEGO® bricks as a communication tool to enhance its collaborative problem-solving process. During the JEMUN sessions, delegates in this meeting room are given tasks to which they respond by building perceptually symbolic and conceptually metaphoric models using LEGO® bricks, resulting in visually-enhanced resolutions. This innovative, hands-on, minds-on approach to problem-solving helps JEMUN delegates unlock new knowledge and ideas, resulting in more innovative solutions.
JEMUN Journalism is an innovative multi-format digital journalism simulation for both university and high school students. Journalist pairs, each comprised of one Japanese student and one international student, are assigned to cover the JEMUN meeting rooms. Each pair collaborates, explores, engages, and finally creates digital media broadcasts in one of our eight JEMUN digital journalism roles. All of the communication between each journalist pair is in English and the publications they produce are also in English.
Our meticulous conference planning is an important ingredient to JEMUN's growth and success and we take extreme pride in being one of the best organized Model UN conferences in the world. For each JEMUN conference, a team of 40 passionate student planners and two faculty members from Kindai University work together for seven months with a goal of making the JEMUN conference better than the year before.
