Worldwide Interscholastic Network of Model UN XVI
**Worldwide Interscholastic Network of Model UN XVI** is a mixed-level Model United Nations conference held online on July 11, 2026. Participants represent countries in simulated UN committees, drafting resolutions and engaging in diplomatic negotiation to address global issues. Delegates develop research, public speaking, and consensus-building skills through committee debate and procedural engagement.
Why it matters
A large virtual conference can give students exposure to a broad delegate pool while making participation more accessible regardless of location. With an expected **500 delegates**, WINMUN XVI may offer a chance to engage with a sizable international-style MUN environment online.
For students across experience levels, a mixed-eligibility event can be a useful space to practice formal speaking, negotiation, and resolution writing alongside a varied group of participants. The online format also makes digital communication and time management especially relevant skills.
How to prepare
Since the committee list is not provided, prepare by strengthening core Model UN fundamentals that transfer across most rooms: rules of procedure, speech structure, caucusing, amendment strategy, and concise draft resolution writing. It is also worth practicing clear online delivery, including speaking at pace, using notes effectively, and staying engaged in a virtual setting.
Before applying, review the conference page for any updates on committees, schedules, or delegate guidance. Once committee topics are available, narrow your research to country policy, likely bloc positions, and practical solutions you can defend in both formal debate and unmoderated caucus.
