It’s almost conference weekend! These are exciting times, and we know you’ve been busy drafting up your opening speeches, so here are a few final reminders to help you prepare for your arrival and make that first committee session go smoothly.
We are super excited to be welcoming you all to OG’s 2025 Home Conference in just a few weeks! Whilst we hope you are all excited too, you may have some queries or concerns, so this blog post is intended to give you some answers. If there is anything you are unsure about that is not addressed in this blog post, have a look through the rest of the OG website, and if that fails, you can email info@oxfordglobal.org. We’re always happy to help! Lots more information about conference logistics will be found within the Delegate Handbook, which you’ll receive at registration.
Hello Delegates!
A fundamental part of being a representative at the United Nations (and, thus, at a MUN Conference) is an awareness of global events. Given that the theme of OG’s 2025 Home Conference is ‘The Spirit of Inquiry’, we think it is important to stay inquisitive about international news. From October, we will discuss three articles, with related questions to allow you to inquire about what is going on worldwide.
Ahead of the conference, we thought it would be useful to dive a bit deeper into our two special crisis committees. This second post takes us into the world of Narnia, as we explore the topic for this year’s fantasy crisis committee. In fact, you don’t have to go far to find Narnia in the city of Oxford, as C. S. Lewis wrote the books while he was teaching at Magdalen College in the 1950s, and was supposedly inspired by a lamppost, lion door carving, and gilded fauns in St. Mary’s Passage next to the Radcliffe Camera.
Ahead of the conference, we thought it would be useful to dive a bit deeper into our two special crisis committees. First up, it’s our historical crisis committee. In recent years, our historical crises have included Empress Wu’s succession crisis in eighth century China, the Korean War, and the Chernobyl disaster. In 2025, we are delving into one of the turning points in international history - the fall of the Soviet Union.

Given that the theme of our 2025 Home Conference is ‘The Spirit of Inquiry’, we think it is important to stay inquisitive about international news.

A fundamental part of being a representative at the United Nations (and, thus, at a MUN Conference) is an awareness of global events. Given that the theme of this year’s Home Conference is ‘The Spirit of Inquiry’, we think it is important to stay inquisitive about international news. For March, we have three articles discussed below with some links and related questions to allow you to inquire about what is going on worldwide.
Imagine a room packed with passionate students from across the globe, each representing a different nation with unique pasts and priorities, discussing, debating, and drafting together to find solutions to the world’s most pressing issues. This is fundamentally what Model United Nations (or MUN for short) is about.
What is the Spirit of Inquiry?
At its core, diplomacy isn’t about having all the answers — it’s about asking the right questions. The spirit of inquiry is what drives us to challenge assumptions, seek out diverse perspectives, and engage in meaningful dialogue to find solutions that truly last.
This year, as we gather for OxfordMUN 2025, we invite delegates to step into this mindset — one of curiosity, critical thinking, and open-minded exploration.
Now that the conference is fast approaching, we thought we’d introduce you to your chairpersons! Each committee will have one Main Chair, one or two Co-Chairs, and potentially an Assistant Director as well. The Main Chair will be your main point of contact and will be leading the Dais - here’s a few details about all of them, so you can get to know them a little bit better before the conference!
Participating in your first Model UN conference can be an exhilarating experience, but at times it may appear to be overwhelming. Having gone through the experience ourselves, I have compiled a short list of things that I wish I knew before stepping into the committee room for the first time. If you are a first-time delegate or a delegate looking to refresh your skills, this blog may help you navigate the Model UN experience!
The Secretariat is super excited to be welcoming you to our 2024 Home Conference in just under a month! Of course while we are hoping everyone is looking forward to coming to the city of Oxford, you may also have queries or concerns, so we hope this blog post about some common questions you might have.
At OG, we take dress code very seriously. It might seem frivolous but how you dress is how you present yourself to the world and to each other, and a smart outfit is a sign of respect towards your peers and towards the conference. Our Chairs and Secretariat will be in their best dress, so we expect you to be too!
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:
