​Who are we?
KU Leuven Model United Nations (KULMUN)
The KU Leuven Model United Nations Association (KULMUN) is a student-run organization with a passion for debate, international politics, and connecting with persons of diverse opinions. We attend various MUN conferences across Europe and beyond and provide a wide variety of training activities to our members, honing their skills in debate, negotiation, and public speaking as well as fantastic socials for our members to bond. We accept both seasoned MUNers and those who have never heard of what a MUN is (For those who want more information on what MUN is, click here). As well as this, we host Belgium's finest annual Model United Nations Conference which is open to anyone from the public.
A look into KULMUN
Weekly Trainings
KULMUN conducts a diverse range of trainings, including, public speaking training, plenty of mock debates, negotiation trainings, seminars and of course mini MUNs. A few years ago for example, we were given a seminar by the head of Belgium's delegation to the United Nations Security Council Werner Bauwens. We also have our annual members' weekend where we conduct plenty of team-building exercises and have a full 2 day-long mini MUN.
KULMUN Conference
Main KULMUN Event
The KU Leuven Model United Nations conference is our organization's very own annual MUN conference open to both members and non-members. It is Belgium's finest MUN conference and usually takes place in March. 2025 marks an important year for KULMUN, since it will celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the association and the KULMUN Conference. Our conference typically has between 100-150 participants split into committees of 20 delegates on average, allowing for more personal and in-depth debates. We take pride in our organization, academics, and socials which are carefully prepared by the Executive Board of KULMUN, Secretariat, and some external help. If you are interested in traveling to the beautiful city of Leuven, we guarantee an exceptional experience for all. Click here to read more about the fifteenth edition of the KULMUN Conference!
Socials
Parties, members' weekend, networking events, gala,...
The connection between all participants of our organisation and conference is equally as important as the individuals themselves. For this reason, we put a healthy emphasis on delivering great socials. Socials can be divided in two categories: socials for the members of KULMUN and socials for the conference participants. During the academic year, we will provide our members with a range of exceptional social activities and networking events. Furthermore, if you participate at our KULMUN conference (with or without being a member) we guarantee a week of unforgettable socials such as theme parties, excursions, a gala, and so on!
