Join our events!
The best way to get involved with the UN Society is to attend one of our events held around the year. The best place to start is a MiniMUN, held around the semester on either a Tuesday or Thursday. Go to the Events page for more information.
From there, explore bigger events such as JointMUN, SydMUN, AMUNC and WorldMUN.
How can I get involved at Sydney University?
The best way is to attend our MiniMUN sessions. These are held in the evening, several times throughout the year, and provide a trimmed-down version of the Model UN experience (everyone discusses a pre-written resolution, rather than starting from scratch). You should be able to get a feel for whether you enjoy Model UN and you can find out more about our larger events.
The Society also hosts SydMUN, a 2-day Model UN conference for university students from across the Sydney region. Here, only topics and some background information are released beforehand and delegates must work together to create a resolution. The conference also includes a guest speaker and a social event so you can get to know your fellow diplomats outside of the committee room.
A Sydney University delegation also attends AMUNC, the Asia-Pacific Model United Nations Conference, in the winter break. In 2009, it will be held at the University of Queensland, after travelling to Adelaide in 2008. AMUNC runs for five days and intersperses high-quality Model UN sessions with interesting guest speakers and a variety of social events. Sydney University has a reputation for providing intelligent, articulate and engaging delegations and look forward to upholding that standard this year.
Become an executive member
The UN Society holds Annual General Meetings (AGM) every October to elect new executive members for the following year. If you believe you have the ability to help UN Society become even better, why not run for a position?
More information will be available each year closer to the AGM month.
