Participation in other International Model UN Conferences

Ever since its inception, DuEMUN has been active in sending student delegations to MUN-conferences abroad.

In its first year, DuEMUN sent one delegation each to WorldMUN in Beijing, National MUN in New York and to Lahore MUN in Pakistan. In 2007, two groups of students once more took part in WorldMUN and NMUN.

Due to the increasing size of its own event, DuEMUN has focused its activities on NMUN in New York City since the year 2008.

Delegates are prepared for their participation in an extensive seminar that is organized by the DuEMUN project partners. It teaches rhetorics, debating and the rules of procedure for the respective conference next to several other key skills. In the context of the preparation, students also visit a number of Model UN conferences in Germany and nearby European countries to gather as much MUN experience as possible.

Guest lecturers are invited to the seminar to provide academic background information while delegates are able to pick up hints from senior diplomats that are interviewed in preparation. On the trip to New York, our delegations also use the proximity of several NGOs, consulates and UN organs to gather additional information.
