Congrego was launched with the aim of introducing participants to the Model United Nations (MUN) culture and equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed for success at the Sri Lanka Related Model United Nations (SLRMUN). This project served as an educational platform enabling participants to understand RMMUN as a whole, foster teamwork, and hone their problem-solving abilities. Through meaningful discussions, participants gained insight into the broader scope of RMMUN. It consisted of two main segments: 'Talk with Notes' and a 'Training Session for MUN.'
Event Details
A lively physical event named 'Talk with Notes' took place on January 16, 2025. This session gave featured music as participants could request songs and "remix" by the music crew, creating an engaging atmosphere. While the setting was fun, the discussions were educational, with participants becoming aware of RMMUN's sub-projects, especially the SLRMUN conference.
