We returned to Chongqing for the second year of the OGMUN–Chongqing No.8 Secondary School Model United Nations Leadership Academy and Conference. From workshops and committee debate to cultural exchange, expert speakers, and exploring Chongqing and Chengdu, the week gave delegates the chance to build confidence, strengthen their MUN skills, and engage with new ideas.
Set in 2075, Future Crisis places delegates in a transformed world where new powers are rising, old assumptions are being tested, and the rules of global leadership are being rewritten. As technology, climate pressure, and shifting geopolitics reshape the international order, delegates must respond to uncertainty, disruption, and the question of what diplomacy looks like in a future still taking shape.
From rising seas threatening Pacific Island States to the growing debate over net zero and absolute zero, COP31 places delegates at the centre of global climate diplomacy. This committee challenges delegates to move beyond promises and targets, asking what meaningful climate action should look like when the stakes are measured in land, livelihoods, sovereignty, and the future of the planet.
Meet Kokil, Secretary-General for GlobalVoices 2026. Having been involved in MUN since Year 7, Kokil brings extensive conference experience and a strong belief in MUN’s ability to build confidence and help delegates find their voice. As Secretary-General, she will play a central role in shaping the academic direction of the conference, supporting the Secretariat, and helping bring this year’s theme, Diplomacy: Past, Present, and Future, to life.
At GlobalVoices 2026, delegates in the UK Parliament committee will step into Westminster to tackle two urgent debates at the heart of British politics: the future of public spending and the national debt, and the impact of artificial intelligence on creativity, copyright, and livelihoods.
As MUNers, what helps us make friends and build bonds is not only the exciting weekend of conference spent together, but also MUN-exclusive activities that help incite common memories. Whether you are a first-time delegate looking to read about what to expect at MUNs, or just someone seeking some fun MUN nostalgia, this is the blog post for you!
Hi guys! I’m Ayala, the Under-Secretary-General for Community Building and I’m going to explain a little more about my responsibilities and my role in the conference. I absolutely love what I do and hopefully by the end of this blog you’ll understand why - if you have any questions about my job please feel free to come and have a chat in November!
Under Secretary General for Content is the role that covers the writing, editing, formatting and final publishing on the Background Guides that delegates use to inform their research on their committee, as well as side-tasks such as proofreading these blog posts, designing training materials for both delegates and chairs, and running mock sessions! It’s an exciting role with a lot of variety and creativity involved, so without further ado, meet you USGs for Content:
Alright, a weekend of debate has gone by, what are you left with? If your debate has been productive, you should be left with a resolution paper. Simply put, a resolution paper is the whole point of the debate. Both in real life and in MUN, simply debating won’t get you anywhere, you need to take action to solve a problem. The debate is simply to clarify what type of action you want to take. Resolution papers are documents that delegates work on throughout the weekend, and details the actions that they, representing their countries, believe that the UN should take to solve the problem.
So now you’ve done all of your research and you are ready to debate. You show up to the conference, sit through the opening ceremony in anticipation, and race to your committee room. You take a seat at the table with your placard on it. Now what? Since it’s the first time you are meeting the chair and your fellow delegates, the chair will probably get you to all introduce yourselves, maybe play some icebreaker games. The chair will then explain the rules of procedures again, just in case anyone is confused or wants clarifications. Then, the debate begins.
Some of you might be veterans of diplomacy, experienced in negotiation and manipulation, with half a dozen conferences and maybe even a few certificates under your belt. To those of you, I say, welcome back! But for many others, this might be your first ever MUN conference. So, what exactly is Model United Nations?
