Beyond the Deadlock

MEDIMUN is the largest THIMUN-affiliated Model United Nations conference in the Mediterranean. Every February, around four hundred students from sixty schools spend three days at The English School in Nicosia debating the world's problems the way the United Nations does.

Who can take part?

Students aged 15 to 19 from international schools across the Mediterranean and beyond. Individuals cannot register on their own; you come as part of your school's delegation.

How does a school apply?

Applications open every September. A school director registers the delegation on MediBook and is granted one or more countries to represent in the General Assemblies, with further seats in the Security Councils and Special Committees.

When and where is it held?

At The English School in Nicosia, Cyprus, over three days in early February. A lobbying workshop usually runs in November.

Is the conference in English?

Yes. Lobbying, debate, resolution writing and the plenary are all conducted in English.

What does it cost?

A delegate fee and a school director fee, billed to the school on a single invoice. MEDIMUN is a non-profit, so fees cover the cost of the conference and nothing more.

Can first-time delegates come?

Yes. The General Assemblies take delegates of every level, and the workshop before the conference covers procedure, resolution writing and public speaking.
