NAMUN 2024
North American Model United Nations
A Truly Amazing Legacy.
Founded in 1985 and hosted at the University of Toronto, North American Model United Nations (NAMUN) is Canada’s oldest annual university-level Model United Nations conference. Over the span of 8 months our dedicated staff work tirelessly developing content, honing procedures, and organizing administration to provide the most intellectually stimulating, collegiate, and welcoming environment for our delegates. This culminates in our annual 3-day conference where more than 250 student delegates from around the world take part in debates, with topics drawn from issues deliberated at the United Nations.
