Model United Nations (MUN) is the simulation of activities of the United Nations. Security Council, General Assembly and its commissions are usually present in all MUN conferences. It is a “learning by doing” method of studying the UN. Participants of MUN assume the roles of representatives of member states.
MUN began as early as 1923 with simulated sessions of the then “League of Nations”. MUN is held in many countries of the world. Each year about 60,000 secondary and university students participate in MUN worldwide. Each program is run independently, but maintains similar goals, to increase international understanding and develop the art of peaceful negotiations.
MUN is a programme for students to learn about international relations, public speaking, international law and debate. Delegates are developing a response to global competitiveness in the field of knowledge based economies, humanitarian issues along with many other real world situations that we are currently living in.

This year, our Model United Nations team had the opportunity to attend three prestigious conferences at Swiss International, Sherborne School, and the International Conference at THIMUN. Our students excelled, with several being honored as best delegates, and many stepping up to the esteemed role of chair. These conferences offered a unique platform to connect with students from other schools, enabling meaningful discussions on pressing global issues. Thimun 2025 was a particular highlight as DBS students forged friendships from students of different countries such as India, China and America!
In preparation for each conference, our Extra Curricular Activities (ECAs) were dedicated to diligently researching and developing strategies for the assigned topics. These sessions were expertly led by our experienced Year 13 students, who utilised their knowledge and skills to prepare our newer delegates for the challenges ahead.
The hard work and dedication have paid off, creating a strong and passionate cohort of delegates. We are immensely proud of their achievements and are eagerly looking forward to another successful year in Model United Nations.
