Summary

GHIBI gathers high school Model UN delegates in Tbilisi for committee work in the South Caucasus. The conference draws students into a setting where European, Eurasian, and Middle Eastern policy currents converge, giving newer delegates a chance to debate global questions from a city that itself sits on multiple geopolitical fault lines. The program is built for the high school level, with a delegate cohort sized to keep committees substantive while still allowing first-time chairs and diplomats room to find their footing. Registration and participation details are coordinated through the conference's listing on mymun.

Why this edition matters in 2029

Tbilisi is an unusual host city for a Model UN conference, and that is precisely the point. Georgia sits at the intersection of EU aspirations, Russian pressure, Turkish trade routes, and Iranian neighborhood politics, and a committee room in this city carries a different texture than one in Brussels or New York. For high school delegates, the geography itself becomes part of the curriculum. The South Caucasus is underrepresented in the global Model UN circuit, and conferences hosted here help build a regional pipeline of young diplomats who understand the file from the inside rather than from a Western policy brief. That matters as questions about frozen conflicts, energy corridors, and post-Soviet sovereignty stay on the UN agenda. For delegates traveling in from outside the region, GHIBI offers exposure to a debate culture shaped by proximity to genuine security dilemmas. Committee work tends to feel less abstract when the host country's own foreign policy choices are alive in the room.

How to prepare

Strong preparation for GHIBI starts with reading the South Caucasus on its own terms. Delegates should understand how Georgia frames its relationship with NATO and the EU, how Armenia and Azerbaijan have moved through their post-Nagorno-Karabakh settlement, and how Russia and Turkey project influence across the region. These threads will surface in committees even when they are not formally on the agenda. At the high school level, the most effective delegates are those who pair a clear country position with the discipline to listen. Chairs in Tbilisi tend to reward delegates who can connect a national interest to a concrete clause in a draft resolution, rather than those who deliver rehearsed speeches. Logistically, delegates should plan for winter conditions in Tbilisi and treat the compressed program as a reason to arrive with position papers already polished. There is little room to write into the conference; the work needs to be done before the opening ceremony.
