The Global Millennial Model United Nations (GM MUN) will return on January 2–4, 2026, in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, gathering hundreds of young leaders from across the globe. For many participants, it will be their first time experiencing the world of diplomacy, public speaking, and international networking through a Model United Nations conference.
To help new delegates succeed, here is a step-by-step guide to preparing for GM MUN 2026.
Step 1 – Understand the Basics
Model United Nations (MUN) is a simulation of United Nations conferences where participants represent countries and debate pressing global issues. Each delegate must follow specific rules, debate formats, and procedures, including drafting resolutions. Understanding these basics will set the foundation for your MUN journey.
Step 2 – Research Your Country and Topic
Thorough research is essential to succeed at GM MUN. Delegates should study their assigned country’s history, policies, and positions on international issues. Staying updated with current global events through news articles, journals, and official reports will also help in building strong, well-informed arguments during committee sessions.
Step 3 – Prepare Your Position Paper and Speech
A position paper serves as a delegate’s strongest tool. It clearly explains a country’s stance on the assigned topic and outlines potential solutions. Delegates must also practice their opening speeches, as it is the first opportunity to make an impression and set the tone for negotiations and debates.
Step 4 – Master the Rules of Procedure
The rules of procedure are crucial to navigating MUN conferences smoothly. Delegates should learn how motions, speeches, and voting processes work. Beyond debating, successful delegates also demonstrate negotiation and diplomacy skills by collaborating with others to find meaningful solutions.
Step 5 – Practice, Practice, Practice
Preparation does not end with research and writing. Delegates are encouraged to join MUN simulations to practice public speaking, negotiation, and argument-building. Recording and reviewing performances can also highlight areas for improvement before the official conference begins.
