Goal

The main purpose of our MUN Society Geneva is to promote further understanding of the United Nations Organisation, international issues, and the global community. The weekly meetings are part of the preparation of delegates for different Model United Nations Conferences in Switzerland and all around the world such as the GIMUN Annual Conference at the Palais des Nations. We would like to help you become familiar with the ways of how such conferences work and want you to gain knowledge, confidence and the necessary skills to actively participate in Model UN meetings of any size.

Ways to participate

In weekly meetings we would like to engage you in an active debate with fellow participants about a topic drawn from the real UN General Assembly (GA). You will represent a country of your choice in a reduced sized, but regionally proportionate, Model UN GA; and learn how to draft, discuss and vote on a resolution in the UN system.

All necessary tools for this exercise will be given to you in due time and we will always try to find an answer to any questions along the way. There is no exam in the end. All those participants who have attended at least four of five meetings and actively took part in the debate will be handed a certificate.
