Summary

John Lennon Gymnasium MUN brings high-school delegates to Berlin for a multi-day simulation hosted by one of the city's well-known secondary schools. The conference takes place in early summer and uses Model UN's standard architecture - committee assignments, position papers, moderated debate, and resolution drafting - to give students structured practice in multilateral negotiation. For delegates and advisors planning a European circuit, JLGMUN sits in the late-spring/early-summer window when school-year conferences wind down and travel-friendly events become attractive. It is positioned as a high-school-level event in a major capital, with applications routed through the mymun platform.

Why this edition matters in 2026

Berlin is one of Europe's denser policy ecosystems, hosting embassies, think tanks, and a long tradition of civic education in its school system. A high-school MUN anchored here gives students a chance to debate global issues in a city that itself sits at the intersection of European Union politics, transatlantic security, and post-Cold War diplomatic history. That backdrop makes committee work feel less like an academic exercise and more like an extension of conversations already happening a few U-Bahn stops away. The conference also matters as a development venue. School-hosted MUNs - as opposed to university-run ones - tend to keep procedure approachable while still pushing delegates on research and resolution quality. For students preparing for larger European or international circuits, JLGMUN offers reps in a real committee setting without the intimidation factor of a flagship conference. For advisors, the event is a useful calibration point: it lets a delegation test how their students perform outside their home circuit, against peers from across Germany and neighboring countries, before committing to longer or more expensive trips.

How to prepare

Preparation should start with the committee matrix and the topics each committee will debate. Because JLGMUN is a high-school conference, chairs typically reward delegates who combine clean procedure with substantive command of their country's actual policy - not just rhetorical flourish. Build position papers around verifiable national positions, recent voting records, and the specific instruments (treaties, resolutions, funding mechanisms) your delegation would realistically invoke. Logistically, delegates traveling from outside Berlin should coordinate transport and housing through their school or advisor early, and confirm any visa requirements well in advance for non-EU participants. Applications run through mymun, so create an account, complete the delegate profile, and watch the platform for committee assignments and background guides. Finally, treat the days in Berlin as more than committee sessions. Embassy visits, museum stops, and informal conversations with delegates from other school systems are part of the value of traveling to a conference like this one. Build a small amount of margin into the schedule for that.
