About

Dear reader,

Thank you so much for visiting the FAMUN 2026 page!
The main theme for this year is 'Preserving change as the path to progress'.

During the nineth edition of the Farel Academy Model United Nations, participants will be challenged to collaborate and empathise with each other to resolve pressing issues.  

The most influential figures in history are philosophers and scientists who have provided us with cultural and technological innovations which now form the cornerstones of our societies. Finding new insights, channelling new perspectives and developing new systems are vital to improving the world around us. At FAMUN, resolutions to the global issues debated will be formed through new ideas, which will form the pathway to global progress.  

Registration is still open until 15 December 2025.

!!Registration has officially been closed!!

!!Topics and chairs online now!!

We are excited to see you all in February!

Best regards,
The Executive Team of FAMUN 2026
