NOVICE​NATIONS 2026

6-8 February

NoviceNations is OG’s beginner-focused conference, held every February in the city of Oxford. It introduces students to Model United Nations (MUN) in a supportive environment where delegates can build confidence, develop public speaking and debating skills, and explore international diplomacy.

Through beginner-friendly committees, workshops, and activities, delegates engage with global issues ranging from technological change and economic policy to human rights and gender equality. For those ready to take the next step, the conference also features one or two intermediate committees each year - often specialised or crisis-based - for a faster-paced challenge.

Above all, NoviceNations reflects our commitment to making MUN accessible to all, providing a welcoming space for students at the start of their MUN journey. We look forward to welcoming you to Oxford and seeing the debates unfold!
