Deutsche MUNs für SchülerInnen 2023

The first Baltic Model United Nations conference was held in 2008. It had been initiated by students from Innerstädtisches Gymnasium Rostock (ISG). About one hundred participants from many different countries followed the invitation and have experienced an interesting and personal conference.

After this successful event the ISG decided to hold annual conferences in the beautiful Hanseatic city of Rostock. Currently it is and should remain a summit organized by high school students for fellow students. By doing that the BALMUN-Team seeks to retain personal contact between the participants. Besides offering real UN-procedures and fascinating MUN-experiences BALMUN enables an intercultural exchange among a growing number of international participants by having rather small committees and interesting get-togethers. With the support of many experienced MUN-students from all around Europe we were able to realize this idea and we will be delighted to uphold this event for the Baltic region.

BERMUN was initiated in 1992 and began as one-day conference with only thirty participants. Since 1992, BERMUN has evolved into a four-day international conference held in November and is att ended by over 700 participants. A second regional conference, BERMUN2, held in March, extends the MUN program to regional schools. Both conferences are organized by the John F. Kennedy School and take place in Berlin.

Since 2005, the BERMUN Youth Assembly has been empowering youth to create community-level projects addressing current global issues. BERMUN, BERMUN2, and the YA are all student-run projects and uphold the MUN vision of endorsing the ideals of the UN.

The ELMUN Conference is annually held in the last week of May at the Bilinguale Europaschule – Hermann-Böse-Gymnasium Bremen. The Elephant Model United Nations (ELMUN) – since the emblem of our school is an elephant – is a simulation for students from classes 9 to 13.

„Tackling Crises” as our main theme every year, our delegates will be dealing with hot and most recent international issues in different committees and councils. Since its foundation in 2009, ELMUN has continuously grown and in 2011 more than 200 participants took part at the Conference. ELMUN is supposed to be a beginner’s MUN, which attracts new students and helps them actively experience to deal with worldly matters that might give them new perspectives for their future to come.

In 2015, MUNISS is proud to host its 8th instalment of its conference in Stuttgart, Germany. It will take place from the 16ht to the 19th of April in 2015. This year around, we will be concentrating on the South- and South East Asian region as a central theme. We host our conference partly on conference, partly at a conference centre in the Stuttgart region. Most importantly we cater to a wide range of debating skills, setting different committees at different levels, thus fostering speaking opportunities for every debating-type. Furthermore, we cater to delegates from 14 years up.

The conference is completely student run and organised. We provide housing for the first delegations to apply to our conference and require a small additional fee for housing in a youth hostel. The conference runs from Thursday morning to Sunday afternoon, allowing for enough time for delegations to depart on the Sunday the conference ends.

The Model United Nations of Baden-Baden (MUNoBB) was founded in 2015 by five students of the Pädagogium Baden-Baden. Every March over 130 first-time and veteran delegates from all over the world come together in one of the most beautiful cities of Germany. The delegates, aged 16 to 19, can discuss the most important political issues in five Committees and a Security Council. MUNoBB is not only about simulating the United Nations, but it is also about making new friends and learning about new cultures.

MUNOG_CCC started out in 2008 to minimize the problems of climate change. It has turned into an international conference with up to 200 participants not only from Europe. The follow-up conferences have kept their focus on climate change but also dealt with other important issues. UN committees and councils concerning human rights, international security, climate and economics are simulated during the conference. MUNOG usually takes place for five days in the middle of October.

Ending with a diplomate's prom, MUNOG is – on a professional as well as private plane – a great way to get to know people from all over the world and to improve English skills. With many people working to arise a great simulation, there is always a great international atmosphere.

Model United Nations of Hamburg (MUNOH) is a MUN conference organized by the students of Gymnasium Meiendorf in the wonderful city of Hamburg. Since the first time in 2009, about 250 students from different European countries and beyond take part in it every year and debate the most important political issues in committees of the General Assembly, the Enviromental Comission and the Security Council.

The Model United Nations of Munich (MunoM) is a four-day MUN conference, organized by students of the European School Munich, which takes place in the first week of November. Held in the capital of Bavaria, the conference brings together over 350 students from all over Europe to the impressive venues of the European Patent Office and the “Forum am Deutschen Museum”. The delegates, aged 14 to 19, are subdivided into five Committees, a Security Council and a Special Conference. For all those coming from abroad, host families are an offered alternative.

Since the first conference in 2004, MunoM has successfully grown, attracting more and more national and international schools; it is therefore a superb chance for first-time as well as veteran delegates to develop new skills, produce resolutions, make new friends and enjoy the party!

SPUN ist das älteste deutschsprachige UN-Planspiel für Schüler. Seit 1997 lockt es jeden Sommer circa 250 Schüler aus dem ganzen Bundesgebiet, und als erstes Planspiel auch von deutschen Schulen rund um den Erdball, in den Plenarbereich des alten Bundestags der ehemals Bundeshauptstadt und nun UN-Stadt Bonn. SPUN wird inhaltlich ausschließlich von Schülern geplant. Vom Delegierten bis zur Generalsekretärin: Hier wird jeder Posten von Schülern bekleidet, die, wenn sie sich nicht gerade im Sicherheitsrat, in der Generalversammlung oder in einem anderen Gremium heiße Wortgefechte liefern, auch mal eine Nachtsitzung einberaumen und so für das einzigartige „SPUN-Feeling“ sorgen.
