Support us!
Our Model United Nations Team is an accredited Student Association of the University of Zurich. Thanks to this we are able to hold our weekly sessions in a room generously provided by the University, additionally all board members commit their time and effort to our association on a purely voluntary basis. However, our organisation faces various other costs linked to the plethora of activities we provide our members with.
The weekly sessions make up the core part of our agenda. By discussing and debating relevant topics linked to world politics we seek to improve our understanding of the current issues facing the world, by approaching them from different perspectives. At the same time, we practice our rhetorical skills and improve our formal English. Furthermore, these weekly meetings help us to build a successful community and prepare our delegates for international conferences where they are able to make remarkable contributions and connect with other students from all over the globe.
National and international conferences emerge as the highlights of the MUN year and are a substantial part of the program we offer. Unfortunately, the financial costs connected to attending conferences prove to be a heavy burden on many a student’s budgets. We firmly believe that students who wish to attend conferences with us should be able to do so without financial worries. Your contributions as Sponsors help us to cover these expenses and consequently enable all delegates to partake in these conferences without having to worry about covering all associated costs by themselves.
For more detailed information about our activities please consult our Sponsoring Brochure. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our Head of Fundraising, in charge of all matters concerning sponsoring.
Thank you for supporting us in our efforts to create a multifaceted and insightful educational experience for our students.
