In recent years there has been an increasing interest in responsible management education.
Integration of the principles of responsible management education (PRME) within the core
curricula of business schools and management education-related institutions calls for the
creation of innovative pedagogies and educational approaches. Responding to the inherent
challenges associated with the development and implementation of education for
sustainability within existing business-related education, this paper seeks to discuss a
teaching initiative of introducing Model United Nations (Model UN) as a classroom
activity for undergraduate students. The main purpose of research presented in this paper
is to explore students’ experience of engaging in Model UN debates around topics related
to the sustainable development goals as defined in the UN 2030 Agenda for sustainable
development (for example, youth unemployment, climate change, poverty, etc.). Model UN
is traditionally known as an extra-curricular educational simulation of the United Nations
where students play their roles as delegates from different countries and endeavour to solve
real world issues using the policies and perspectives of their assigned country as well as
policies and procedures of the United Nations. In this paper Model UN is proposed as a
classroom engagement activity which assists undergraduate students in recognising the
complexity of international negotiations and reflecting on challenges associated with the
decision making process and how it affects the sustainability agenda on the individual and
societal level. This paper seeks to provide a useful insight into the practical value of Model
UN simulation as a means to facilitate meaningful learning on the course. It is suggested
that experience of introducing Model UN as a core curricular activity, rather than one that
is extra-curricular, will be of particular interest for educators who are involved in
delivering sustainability-related courses or wishing to teach sustainability-related topics in
globally responsible business-related education programs for undergraduate students.
