YorkMUN

UNA was successfully shortlisted for two awards at YUSU's Activities Awards, as well as President Eloise being shortlisted for an award. The night was very successful and we are delighted to announce that we won Best Event for our Mega Mini MUN which we were the most nominated for of any award that night. As well, Eloise won the award for Contributions to Societies at York for her dedication to the society.

We are so excited to announce that YorkMUN is back!
Since the cancellation of YorkMUN 2022, and the impacts of the Pandemic on membership, we have worked so hard to build up the society, putting us now in a strong position to host a conference again in February 2025!

Despite having not hosted an external, large-scale conference since 2021, we have provided our members and committee with the opportunity to organise and participate in similar events through our very own (award-winning) MiniMUN. The York MiniMUN is a smaller, York-only conference-style event, featuring a day of debating followed by a black-tie formal in the evening. Those who attended this event and then went on to attend other University’s MUN conferences, such as ScotMUN, expressed how much having this smaller, beginner friendly, event helped them to develop their debating skills in a more formal context and gave them a huge confidence boost for future debates.

In light of the fact that we are re-launching YorkMUN, the MiniMUN will no longer be taking place this year, and it will be up to future committees to decide if and how it continues.

Plans are well underway for YorkMUN 2025, and we will be releasing further information over the coming weeks on here and on our social media pages (see below), so watch this space…
