Why OAKMUN 2025 is Perfect for Students
OAKMUN is not just another Model United Nations conference—it’s an event designed to foster critical thinking, collaboration, and the development of oracy skills in a supportive and intimate environment. Here’s what makes OAKMUN stand out:
Smaller, Focused Committees: Unlike larger MUNs, OAKMUN prides itself on having smaller committees with no more than 25 delegates. This means delegates get more time to speak, engage in meaningful debate, and receive personalized attention. The smaller committee sizes allow students to build confidence in public speaking and collaboration while also preparing them for bigger international MUNs in the future.
Unifying Theme: Freedom from Fear: This year, the conference will focus on the theme “Freedom from Fear”, addressing key global issues such as personal freedoms, safety in digital, regional, and international contexts, privacy, and freedom of expression. By focusing on one overarching theme, delegates will work collaboratively across committees, gaining a deeper understanding of global challenges and potential solutions.
Bilingual Committees: To ensure accessibility for all delegates, OAKMUN offers committees in both Spanish and English, making it a welcoming space for a diverse range of participants. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced debater, the conference structure is designed to cater to your skills and help you grow.
Real-World Experience: OAKMUN is more than just a simulation; it’s a hands-on learning experience. Students will delve into issues that shape our world, drafting resolutions, negotiating, and forming alliances, all while improving their debating, writing, and teamwork skills. These are not just MUN skills—they are lifelong skills that will serve you well in academia, career, and leadership.
Home-Stay Accommodation: For students traveling from outside Barcelona, OAKMUN offers home-stay accommodation, giving participants a chance to experience local culture while engaging in the conference. This unique opportunity allows you to make lasting friendships, network with peers from all over the world, and immerse yourself in the MUN experience.
Develop Public Speaking Skills: OAKMUN helps you become a confident orator, a crucial skill for both professional and personal success.
Improve Research and Analytical Thinking: The conference challenges you to dive deep into global issues and develop well-researched solutions.
Enhance Leadership and Diplomacy: You’ll practice diplomacy by working with others to resolve conflicts and build consensus.
Cultural Exchange: OAKMUN brings together delegates from various countries, allowing you to learn about diverse cultures and perspectives.
Networking Opportunities: You’ll have the chance to meet future leaders, make new friends, and connect with like-minded students globally.
