About

WFUNA International Model UN is organized by the World Federation of United Nations Associations (WFUNA), an International NGO with Category One Consultative Status at the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC); Associate Status with the United Nations Department of Global Communications (DGC) and the United Nations Organization for Education Science and Culture (UNESCO), and consultative or liaison links with many other UN organizations and agencies. 

WIMUN is
the most accurate and realistic simulation of the United Nations and features the WIMUN approach, extensive training resources, and briefings on important agenda items by UN Staff or other experts on the agenda. 

At WIMUN, we aim to foster global citizenship in our youth by educating them on current and relevant issues that the United Nations and international community is facing and to equip them with the skills to research, negotiate, and resolve those issues together. All topics discussed at WIMUN are current items being considered by the UN itself on its Agenda, and participants are offered UN resources and documentation to prepare for the sessions.

In order to allow students to engage with Model UN, even during COVID-19 related lockdowns, WFUNA is moving its award-winning WIMUN Geneva conference online to give participants the unique opportunity to learn about current world affairs and the United Nations, while honing their public speaking, negotiation, and debating skills - all from the comfort and safety of their home.
