Overview
Details
FWWMUN begins with a series of workshops delivered by UN Officials and Diplomats about Youth Involvement, the SDGs, and Leadership. Furthermore, during the first committee session, delegates will have the opportunity to engage at a High Level by benefitting from experts in their field on the committee topics.
During the years, several events of the FWWMUN were held at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. Today, the FWWMUN is the largest MUN platform for selected youth and it includes also regional workshops in the five continents: a unique concept made possible only thanks to the support of the partnering diplomatic missions of the UN Member States.
If you are looking for an engaging experience that will challenge and enhance the capabilities of delegates from every skill level, then FWWMUN is the right conference for you. As the largest and most diverse high school and university conference in the world, FWWMUN provides students with exposure to the world's most pressing issues, an array of top-quality and academically rigorous preparation and training materials, direct access to diplomats, ambassadors, and government officials, and the unique experience of deep immersion into the United Nations system itself.
MUN For All
We truly believe that Model UN is an incredible way to train future world leaders, and is an experience all students should have. Our core values are inclusivity and diversity. With 3000 delegates from 146 different countries, FWWMUN is the unique MUN in the world to be fully inclusive, allowing equal participation and opportunities for people from all countries. Because of that, we are proud to be the only conference free of charge held in New York, with the most affordable accommodation packages and 1500 housing financial aids available!
