IMUNA organizes joint professional delegates with leading youth leaders from other countries. Participants travel to the host country (Israel and the other country) in order to meet with leaders such as parliament members, mayors, leading members of society and youth leaders. These delegations are planned and carried out with the coordination of embassies and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of both countries.

IMUNA delegation
Model UN delegations abroad provide our leading members with rare and enriching opportunities as they attend and participate in international conferences abroad. These conferences are attended by hundreds of delegates from numerous countries. As our delegates participate in the conference, they are not only representing their assigned country within the committee, they are also representing Israel. As the participants interact with others, they are given opportunities to learn about other cultures and groups through firsthand experience, in addition to sharing about life in Israel.
The UN simulations which comprise these conferences help participants grow in leadership skills, public speaking abilities, negotiation skills, legal analysis, strategy and more. Future diplomats and policy and change makers are encouraged to make an impact, open dialogue and bring solutions. Through participation in conferences delegates learn how to function in the diplomatic world. Furthermore, they bring forth viable solutions to real world problems that can be implemented.
