About

Democracy!

 

In a world shaped by diverse ideologies, the theme of "Democracy" takes center stage at this year's conference. Rooted in the principles of collective decision-making and citizen participation, democracy stands as a pillar of governance. As we navigate this theme, we reflect on the challenges and opportunities democracy presents in our contemporary global landscape. In an era where democratic values face both scrutiny and reinforcement, we seek to explore, debate, and construct resolutions that strengthen the foundations of democratic governance and uphold the ideals that bind nations together.

ZuMUN is an international Model United Nations conference co-organized by ETH MUN as well as the MUN Team of the University of Zurich and takes place annually in the beautiful city of Zurich, Switzerland.

Please note that underage high school students need a faculty advisor in order to attend the conference.
