SPS/SPGSMUN24

What is Model United Nations?

Model United Nations is a simulation of the United Nations, where a huge variety of subjects can be debated and explored on the level of global diplomacy. Each participant acts as a delegate or representative from one nation, and promotes that nation’s viewpoint as well as coming together with other delegates to seek a practicable solution to the world’s most important questions. A Model UN conference, like the actual United Nations, is divided into several committees, in which each nation has one delegate. Every committee is responsible for a set of topics, such as the mitigation of terrorism or the statues of refugees. Model United Nations is a fulfilling, exciting and worthy activity, as well as simply a great way of meeting new people, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

SPS/SPGSMUN24 will be the sixth Model United Nations Conference held at St Paul’s School in London, and the first held jointly with St Paul's Girls' School: it will take place on Saturday 20th January. The conference is aimed at Years 10-13: no prior MUN experience is required, but some interest in politics and debating is advisable. Applications for school delegations are now open: all delegations must be accompanied by a teacher. The cost of the conference is £20 per delegate, and £10 per teacher: some limited bursarial support may be available for schools in the maintained sector. 

Applications for this conference have now closed.
