CHAUMUN 2025

Charles de Gaulle High School in Chaumont hosted its inaugural Model of United Nations from April 10 to 12 2024. This first edition was a success featuring 2 committees (one in French and one in English), 75 delegates and representation from 7 foreign countries by one or more delegates (Czech Republic, Poland, Azerbaijan, Germany, Slovakia, Taiwan, Mexico).

The mayor of Chaumont and the City Council are encouraging us to organize Chau’mun 2025. Chau’mun 2024 represented a significant moment of cooperation between the city of Chaumont and its authorities and Charles de Gaulle High School and its headmaster and students.

A delegation from a high school can consist of 6 to 8 students. The debate languages are English or French. Students can represent a country in pairs to help build their confidence, especially if they have never participated in a MUN before.

This year the Topic is :

How can we deal with the consequences of rising sea levels and help societies adapt to this situation ?

We will receive some delegations from United states  (Owasso-Oklahoma), United Arab Emirates (GEMS Dubaï), Belgium, Luxembourg, Czech republic,  and 8 high schools from our area (Champagne region). So Chaumun 2025 will be an international event and a regional event.

The french committee can account around 40 students. It will take place in the room of the city council.

The english committees will be divided in 3 sub-committees ( ECOSOC-UNHCR-UNDRR) with around 30 delegates. A general assembly will be organized during the friday morning. We want to give every delegate the chance to play an active part.

We can provide accommodations for you with friendly host families. However, you are free to make alternative arrangements if you prefer.

Registration includes fees. In 2025, the fees are 100 € per student and accompanying teacher. These fees cover meals (including a gourmet French meal prepared by student chefs), coffee-break (pastries and drinks), the delegate kit (tote bags, goodies, notebooks, pens), transportation, as well as social activities (concert, visits, MUN party…
