It is our utmost pleasure to announce the second St Leonards Model United Nations Conference, which will be held from Friday, 6 March to Sunday, 8 March 2026. The conference will be hosted at St Leonards School, an IB World School situated in the heart of the historic university town of St Andrews on the east coast of Scotland. 

The theme of our second conference will be "Finding Global solidarity in a divided world". We aim to find solutions through debate to reconcile differences and shape peace. With this conference, we hope to provide a channel for engaging and stimulating debate on a wide range of topics, and also to provide a social experience through the variety of activities and events we have planned within our school and in the historic town of St Andrews.

We look forward to welcoming a passionate group of young people, whether it is your first conference or you have been participating for years!
