About
The 59th THIMUN: four days of secondary school MUN at the World Forum in The Hague
THIMUN is a four-day UN simulation for secondary school students, held at the end of January at the World Forum in The Hague and now in its 59th session. It draws about 3,200 students and teachers from around 200 schools, with students from more than 100 countries. Schools register as delegations, and students can apply individually for roles such as Student Officer, the NATO Summit, the 1967 Historical Security Council, the International Courts, the Comité français and Press.
