KHNI-DMUN Youth Representatives I 2025

KHNI-DMUN Youth Representatives 2025

Katija Hyoungjoo Neuber Institute & DMUN Foundation

The KHNI-DMUN Youth Representatives Program is a prestigious opportunity for young changemakers to represent the DMUN Foundation at international engagements and conferences. In collaboration with the Katija Hyoungjoo Neuber Institute (KHNI), this initiative aims to build a diverse pool of dedicated youth representatives who will advocate for meaningful youth participation in global decision-making processes.

Please note that this program is self-funded. Selected representatives are responsible for making their own arrangements, including travel, accommodation, and other expenses related to attending conferences—often held in New York or Geneva.

The application will remain open throughout 2025.

Application & Selection Process

• Round One of Applications selects individuals for a pool of youth representatives who may be considered for future DMUN Foundation delegations.

• Previous engagement in DMUN Foundation programs or similar initiatives.
• Strong communication skills and ability to represent youth perspectives in high-level discussions.
