Applications are open for Model United Nations of Munich 2021. Model United Nations is a simulation of the UN General Assembly and other UN bodies. In MUN, students take on the role of delegates from UN member states and NGOs to debate current issues on the conference agenda.

Why participate in a MUN conference?

The main objective for delegates at Model United Nations of Munich is to pass resolutions. Resolutions are written plans on how to deal with a certain issue. Each committee debates on resolutions, which will then either pass or fail, depending on how many votes it gets by the delegates. A resolution that passes therefore represents the shared opinion of a committee.
