Overview
Become a delegate and have powerful debates and experience the game of global diplomacy.
Details
MUN provides you with the opportunity to become a delegate of one of the 195 nations represented in the United Nations. It is a thorough practice of your diplomatic skills and enhances the quality of your debating, public speaking and socializing skills in a exceptionally fast pace. Seize the opportunity and participate as a delegate or a journalist in Belgium’s oldest and most prominent Model UN!
The KU Leuven Model United Nations Association (KULMUN) is a student-run organization with a passion for debate, international politics, and connecting with persons of diverse opinions. We attend various MUN conferences across Europe and beyond and provide a wide variety of training activities to our members, honing their skills in debate, negotiation, and public speaking as well as fantastic socials for our members to bond. We accept both seasoned MUNers and those who have never heard of what a MUN is (For those who want more information on what MUN is, click here). As well as this, we host Belgium's finest annual Model United Nations Conference which is open to anyone from the public.
Main KULMUN Event
The KU Leuven Model United Nations conference is our organization's very own annual MUN conference open to both members and non-members. It is Belgium's finest MUN conference and usually takes place in March. This year, we organized the memorable KULMUN2024 which took place from March 5th to 9th. Our conference typically has between 100-150 participants split into committees of 20 delegates on average, allowing for more personal and in-depth debates. We take pride in our organization, academics, and socials which are carefully prepared by the Executive Board of KULMUN, Secretariat, and some external help. If you are interested in traveling to the beautiful city of Leuven, we guarantee an exceptional experience for all.
Parties, members' weekend, networking events, gala,...
The connection between all participants of our organisation and conference is equally as important as the individuals themselves. For this reason, we put a healthy emphasis on delivering great socials. Socials can be divided in two categories: socials for the members of KULMUN and socials for the conference participants. During the academic year, we will provide our members with a range of exceptional social activities and networking events. Furthermore, if you participate at our KULMUN conference (with or without being a member) we guarantee a week of unforgettable socials such as theme parties, excursions, a gala, and so on!
