Here at MUNers Across Borders we want to contribute in raising awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals, and keenly devote our day to the futhering of SDG Goal 4 and 17, focusing on quality education, and on global partnerships. As a day dedicated to the celebration of Model United Nations, we see ourselves hand in hand at educating people about the United Nations, its values, and promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence. Furthermore, we want to become a hub for all MUNs to be able to find others, and connect with the hundreds of thousands of MUNers who exist worldwide.
We also host a yearly SDG Quiz for all participants at our MUN Summit, find the winners of the 2022 quiz below!
