Model UN can be overwhelming with its formal language, rules, and procedures — if you're unsure what a ‘motion’ is or how ‘caucuses’ work, this guide has you covered.
March International Updates
Hello delegates!
A fundamental part of being a representative at the United Nations (and, thus, at a MUN Conference) is an awareness of global events. Given that the theme of OxfordMUN 2025 is ‘The Spirit of Inquiry’, we think it is important to stay inquisitive about international news. For March, we have three articles discussed below with some links and related questions to allow you to inquire about what is going on worldwide.
Introduction to Model United Nations
Imagine a room packed with passionate students from across the globe, each representing a different nation with unique pasts and priorities, discussing, debating, and drafting together to find solutions to the world’s most pressing issues. This is fundamentally what Model United Nations (or MUN for short) is about.
OxfordMUN 2025: Embracing the ‘Spirit of Inquiry’
What is the Spirit of Inquiry?
At its core, diplomacy isn’t about having all the answers — it’s about asking the right questions. The spirit of inquiry is what drives us to challenge assumptions, seek out diverse perspectives, and engage in meaningful dialogue to find solutions that truly last.
This year, as we gather for OxfordMUN 2025, we invite delegates to step into this mindset — one of curiosity, critical thinking, and open-minded exploration.
