Georgetown Fall MUN Conference
Welcome to GU-Q’s Fall Model United Nations Program.
“Achieving global solidarity and peace in conflict zones: The significance of building individual and collective agency”
October 24-26, 2024
Please note that this conference is ONLY open to high school students in Qatar.
About
We invite interested schools in Qatar to apply for a team of six student delegates (one delegation) to the conference. The conference will not interfere with school timings.
Delegates
Each school may apply to send TWO delegations, or 12 students per school. However, due to space limitations, we cannot guarantee two delegations for each school will be able to attend. Placements will be given on a first-come, first-served basis.
Individual delegates may apply if your school is not sending a delegation. If your school applies for its own delegation(s), we cannot accept you as an individual delegate. If your school does not have a MUN club or MUN counselor, please email us at qatarmun@georgetown.edu.
Committee and Country Allocations
Please note that committee and country allocations will be sent to the school counselors on first-come, first-served basis. We encourage schools to apply as soon as possible to secure their spots! Delegates are required to research both the country they will represent at the conference, as well as the specific topics to be debated in their assigned committee. All committees at the conference are chaired by Georgetown University in Qatar students.
Fees
- QAR150/student
- QAR900/delegation (6 delegates). Free for advisors.
Registration
Pre-registration is required. Please note that we do not accept new registrations on the day of the conference.

“We live in a world filled with conflicts,” said International History major and 2022 MUN Secretary General Benjamin Kurian, adding that many of these conflicts require direct dialogue and diplomacy to resolve. “MUN trains the students for that.”
“I remember how much MUN helped me break through my shell in high school, and I love the idea that I could possibly help just one student who needs this boost of confidence, or to make them wonder if they want to pursue a career in politics.” –Safoura Usmani, 2021 Secretary General
“We are especially proud of our team of 30 Georgetown students who worked tirelessly to put together this conference despite the challenges presented by the pandemic. This conference is a testament to the undying spirit of both Georgetown and high school students in Qatar.” –Jibin Koshy, Educational Enrichment Manager
