d.mun is a local Bay Area conference for all middle school and upper elementary students interested in Model UN in the Bay Area. Regardless if you are on a team or not, everyone is welcome to join as a delegate in this conference. With super beginner committees from general assemblies to specialized and crisis committees, d.mun is perfect for those looking to learn more about Model UN and practice their skills in a low-stakes environment.
Model United Nations (Model UN) is a simulation of the United Nations, offering students a window into the world of diplomacy, international relations, and collaborative problem-solving. Students take on the roles of delegates from various countries and offer thoughts and potential plans of action on real-world issues through the committees of the United Nations.
Participating in Model UN strengthens diplomacy and negotiation skills through collaboration as delegates form alliances, draft resolutions, and negotiate with others. Preparing for conferences teaches delegates to research their topic thoroughly and look at issues from different points of view to represent their nation's opinions and interests. Engaging in diplomacy during conferences refines public speaking and debate skills through a variety of structured and unstructured opportunities to speak, discuss, offer solutions, and defend positions. With these comes critical thinking skills to analyze complex challenges, weigh multiple viewpoints, and craft innovative solutions. Delegates are also exposed to ideas from different cultures and global perspectives.
Model UN fosters qualities such as leadership, empathy, and adaptability – all traits that are important no matter what students end up doing. Model UN is a great place to learn about international affairs and current events while gaining somewhat practical experience in diplomacy and debate.
We invite you to join us at d.mun, our school's Model UN conference. It's a great place for beginner delegates to experience the world of Model UN for the first time and start building lasting connections. Whether you're new to Model UN or are a seasoned delegate, our conference will be an enriching environment for you to sharpen your skills, broaden your horizons, and meet others also interested in global affairs and diplomacy. See you there!
d.tech Model United Nations started 8 years ago at Design Tech High School as a class. Since then, we have transitioned to a program at d.tech with over 35 members who have won awards at every level from small local conferences to large national ones like BMUN. We had the pleasure of hosting d.mun I in 2024 and d.mun II in 2025 and are eagerly looking forward to d.mun III in 2026. We hope to see you there!
