The Creative Development Association (community of alumni of the US Government-sponsored exchange programs in Moldova) and the MDIMUN 2011 Organizing Committee have announced the opening of applications for the first edition of the Moldova International Model United Nations Conference.
Building upon the previous success on national level and organized in the framework of the International Year of Youth, as well as the 20 years celebration of the independence of the Republic of Moldova, it promises to be an unforgettable experience for all participants.

For a few days each participant will take on the role of a diplomat of another country than his own and exercise the complexities of international policy formation at first hand.
