The Yellow Sea Project co-hosts the third annual Korea Model United Nations (KMUN) in February 2010 with the Division of International Studies, Korea University and with the Representation in ROK for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. A number of college and high-school students will attend the meeting. It is expected that the students will actively exchange their views on the global issues and develop their skills that would be useful throughout their lives: research, writing, public speaking, problem solving, consensus building, and co-operation.
