MUN 2025

Model United Nations—also known as Model UN or MUN—is a popular extra-curricular activity in which students roleplay delegates to the United Nations, simulate UN committees, and learn about diplomacy, international relations, current world issues, and the UN itself. It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of students worldwide participate every year in Model UN conferences at all educational levels in schools and universities. Many of today’s leaders in law, government, business, humanities and the arts participated in such simulations as students. MUN was first begun in The Bahamas in 1997. Over the years on average, 12 to 15 senior school teams, comprising 10th and 11th graders, participate from New Providence and the Family Islands. The Rotary Clubs of The Bahamas in conjunction with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs facilitate the event annually. The winning team and advisor travel to the United Nations in New York to attend the General Session, when the Prime Minister of The Bahamas makes his speech.
