The theme of this year's conference, built upon the foundation of the latest UN principles, serves as a guiding star for our discussions: "Global Unity: Navigating Challenges, Forging Solutions." As we deliberate upon pressing issues, we must remember that unity is our greatest strength. It is through unity that we can address the global crises that threaten the well-being of our planet and its inhabitants.

Founded in the year 2013, the Vaels Model United Nations (VMUN) conference embarked on countless participation and success stories with delegates from all over the country. With its rich heritage spanning over a decade, this MUN has evolved into a symbol of diplomatic discourse while simultaneously being a teaching environment for those with a passion for the world’s intricacies.
