“As an international exchange student at the University of Mannheim, I got the chance to meet with the MUN Mannheim team at their kickoff. Internationally minded and well-spoken, I realised I wanted to get involved with them and signed up for the St.Gallen Conference. Thinking back, this was definitely the best decision I made during my exchange. After attending some of their training sessions, we went to St. Gallen.”

This year’s edition of TICS (Tübingen International Crisis Simulation) took place from 31.10. – 3.11. in, you guessed it, Tübingen. Especially excited about the Halloween Social, six members of MUN Mannheim took the speed train to make it just in time to be early for the early registrations. Well, good thing we had Prosecco to endure the wait.

2019 our society sent a delegation to Oxford Model United Nations (OxIMUN) for the second time, after visiting last year for the first time. Our delegation was rather small, with only three delegates, but that didn't prevent us from having a great time. OxIMUN presented itself as the "best MUN conference in Europe", so they set high standards to meet. But hey we are already used to a certain amount of arrogance, from Mannheim's students, so you shouldn't be too surprised to find it at Oxford University.

While visiting my hometown of Zelenograd on the northwestern edge of Moscow last April, I have decided to explore Eastern Europe's largest Model United Nations conference. The Moscow International Model United Nations (MIMUN) takes place annually since 1989 and have moved to the Moscow State University of International Relations in 1999. Since 2017 they also carry the Name of Vitaly Churkin, to honour Russia's late former ambassador to the United Nations.

The excitement for Harvard WorldMUN started very early —one could even argue too early— this year, as the selection workshop held in November motivated MUN Mannheim’s members to put on a fiery debate that took place on campus and left a little less than 20 victorious delegates ready to represent the society at Harvard WorldMUN in Madrid.

When I started the University in Germany I decided it was time to try something new and was reluctant to go back to MUN… “A new era was starting”, that is what I used to say. However I might have also been afraid to go back to something I loved, but with different people, in a different, more professional atmosphere….and also at the other side of the world. Time passed and at the end I could not resist the temptation and went back to MUN in Mannheim. I met wonderful people and I can honestly say it is a decision I will never regret. It was like having a bit of home in a completely new city for me. Two years passed, incredibly fast I should add, and soon I was exploring another city: DUBLIN.

The opening ceremony certainly included one of the highlights of WorldMUN 2016 in Rome as the Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi was one of the speakers. Being a great rhetorician his speech on the current situation in Europe, emphasizing the value of intercultural competences, was really impressive. Besides there were a couple of more speakers and some musical acts to complete the opening ceremony.

“I’ve come to your shores looking for refuge from the tyrannical torments of the Syrian regime.”
Amira stood on the third-level deck of a raggedy boat filled with roughly 550 other Syrian refugees drifting along the Mediterranean Sea. The vessel was vastly overcrowded; designed for no more than 200 people, almost triple the amount of weight was now burdening the creaky fleet chugging along the currents. Enormous waves were pounding the ship into submission – Amira had been sick for the entire duration of the trip; she curled up and held her stomach with both her hands.
