The oldest Belgian Model United Nations society, VUBMUN trains a dedicated team of student delegates each year to participate in Model UN conferences across the globe. What is MUN? A Model UN conference is pretty much what its name implies – a conference organized to simulate the workings of United Nations bodies. Students play the role of delegates from a random country which is a member of the UN. They negotiate with their peers on a certain topic until they reach an agreement and eventually work towards drafting a resolution that will then be put to vote in committee. Every year the VUBMUN team participates in several such conferences. The main event is the large WorldMUN conference organized by Harvard University at a different location in the world each year. Anno 2012, WorldMUN will be held in Vancouver, Canada. This year, VUBMUN will make the trip out to Canada, as well as to Oxford for a smaller but not less prestigious conference, OxiMUN at Oxford University. VUBMUN also participates in VVNMUN held in Brussels and LIMUN in London, and this year they will also travel to New York City for NMUN, a large conference held partially in the General Assembly hall of the real United Nations.
