Model United Nations (MUN) Diplomacy Summer Camp (Beirut & Byblos Campus)

This one-week summer camp is an immersive introduction to the dynamic world of political science and international affairs. Over five days, students will explore key concepts such as global politics, diplomacy, conflict resolution and the art of negotiation, while developing essential skills like public speaking and critical thinking. While exposing students to theories, the focus will be on experiential learning led by LAU student leaders and Model United Nations trainers. By engaging in role-playing, interactive workshops, simulations and debates, students will gain a deeper understanding and playful feel of how politics shapes the world and the vital role of international relations in today’s interconnected society. The camp will include a diplomacy competition, with prizes awarding up to 20% tuition waivers.

Hurry up and register before June 15.
