BALMUN 2020
Mobilizing mankind to manage climate change
Welcome to the 2020 Baltic Model United Nations conference. For the thirteenth year, students from all around the globe will come together to discuss and findpeaceful solutions to current political issues. The BALMUN conference is a four-day simulation of the United Nations for secondary school students.It takes place at the Innerstädtisches Gymnasium Rostock, Germany in May 2020.
This year, it’s all about MOBILIZING MANKIND TO MANAGE CLIMATE CHANGE in order to create a better and more sustainable future for all. For the 2020 BALMUN conference, we have undertaken certain changes in order to keep up with the changing environmental and social aspects of the world we live in. As always, we seek to provide a conference suitable for both MUN beginners, as well as more experienced delegates, as we believe that a mixed skill set is the most efficient way of relaying knowledge and principles that build the core of Model United Nations.
We are looking forward to meeting you in May!
