EVENT DETAILS:
Are you a passionate, opinionated individual wanting to develop public speaking, debating, and leadership skills in a fun environment? Then this is the event for you! UN Youth’s 2025 Wellington Model United Nations (WMUN) is an experience not to be missed. Taking place over the weekend of the 29th and 30th of March 2025, delegates can participate in skill-building workshops, create long-lasting friendships, and debate topical global issues while representing a member state in the Model United Nations General Assembly.
The theme of this year's event is ‘UN+Delivered’, which focuses on addressing critical global issues and initiatives that have remained unfulfilled or underdelivered by the United Nations. Delegates will explore these unresolved challenges, analysing why they persist and proposing innovative solutions to bridge the gaps. Through this process, participants will deepen their understanding of complex international policies and develop the interpersonal skills needed to foster cooperation and meaningful debate, ultimately striving to deliver impactful resolutions.

WHAT IS UN YOUTH?
UN Youth is a non-profit organisation focused on providing civics education beyond traditional classrooms. We involve youth in critical national and international affairs through immersive workshops and conferences. We aim to inspire young New Zealanders to be active, global citizens. Global citizenship takes diverse forms, and UN Youth offers opportunities for delegates to develop their own active citizenship style.
Our work equips young people throughout Aotearoa to become informed, engaged, and critical New Zealanders, understanding their global context and the links between local and global scales. Annually, over 3000 young New Zealanders attend UN Youth events, run by more than 150 volunteers across the country - dedicating many hours to engaging youth and growing the organisation.
