munCLUB is the URJCmun community, the CLUB for students interested in International Relations, diplomacy, geopolitics and debate. This year has experienced a great boom, with more than 160 participants, a total of 8 training groups and more than 150 attendances to different Model United Nations throughout the year.
But, what is munCLUB?
munCLUB has three strands: training (munTRAINING), competition and participation in MUN; and the munCLUBER community:
In 2019, munTRAINING began to be organized, trainings for munCLUB members to learn skills such as public speaking, negotiation, persuasion and leadership with the objective of putting them into practice during the Model UNs themselves, as well as in their future professional careers.
Comprised of 5 weekly sessions of 1 hour and a half in which 50% is direct participation of the attendees, all are led by URJC trainers with extensive experience and experience in Model United Nations. In the same way, munCLUB participates in different national and international MUNs (London, Paris, Athens) representing the association while getting to know new places and people with the same concerns. In addition, we strengthen the ties between former and current members of munCLUB, organizing monthly meetings and activities to promote integration and the exchange of ideas.

These trainings are additional to the munTRAINING program and ensure that all the participants of the URJC delegation are properly prepared to guarantee that they will do well within their committees. They will be able to participate as a part of the Rey Juan Carlos University delegation.
