Schoolhouse Model United Nations 2025
Starts
Hey everyone! We are very excited to welcome you all to the fourth edition of the Schoolhouse Model United Nations!
What is an MUN and Why Should You Participate?
For those who may not be familiar with MUN, it stands for Model United Nations, which is a simulation of the United Nations, with delegates taking on the role of a country’s representative to discuss and find solutions to pressing global issues. MUNs are a great opportunity to develop your public speaking, negotiation and problem-solving skills.
About the Event:
The event will consist of opening and closing ceremonies, with training sessions for all delegates. There are four committees, with the details for each as follows:
United Nations General Assembly (UNGA): Maintaining International Cooperation and Peaceful Governance in Antarctica
World Health Organisation (WHO): Tackling Antimicrobial Resistance in Global Health
United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (UNCSW): Identifying and combatting gender apartheid and the systemic segregation of women
Disarmament and International Security Committee (DISEC): Assessing state-sponsored cyber warfare and its threats to international security
The event will take place from 16th to 17th August, 2025 (Eastern Hemisphere time), with 3 committee sessions taking place everyday, each for one hour. Each delegate who attends at least half of the committee sessions will receive a participation certificate, and winners will receive certificates of excellence. The best delegates from each committee will also win Schoolhouse merchandise!

Schoolhouse MUN 2025 - WHO Committee
Starts
Welcome to the World Health Organization committee sessions of the Schoolhouse Model United Nations 2025!
Schoolhouse MUN is an online Model United Nations event organized by a team of volunteers from schoolhouse.world. Delegates will have the opportunity to represent different countries in four distinct committees of the United Nations. This experience will enhance their understanding of current world issues and improve their public speaking, collaboration, and leadership skills.
Agenda: Tackling Antimicrobial Resistance in Global Health
Developing comprehensive international strategies to prevent the evolution of antimicrobial resistance, track resistant pathogens, respond to outbreaks, and advance novel treatments.
Chairs: Hafsah M and Claire A
Overview of the Committee’s Agenda:
Antimicrobial treatments such as antibiotics have produced almost miraculous results in global health, effectively treating diseases that were once death sentences. However, overuse in humans and animals and underdosing can lead to antimicrobial resistance. Now a common occurrence worldwide, the curse of antimicrobial resistance is threatening to end the success of these wonder-drugs.
Our committee will focus on a coordinated global response to antimicrobial resistance. Our agenda will include preventing, tracking, and containing antimicrobial resistance and developing alternatives to standard antimicrobial treatments. International cooperation is vital to address this widespread and mobile threat.
Delegates, your responsibility is to immerse yourself in the topic of antimicrobial resistance and solutions to promote health and prevent outbreaks in the face of it. What steps must the WHO take, what roles do different nations and organizations have to play, and how can we craft an adaptable and resilient response?
Are you prepared to take on the superbugs?
Please note that each delegate must attend a minimum of three committee sessions to be eligible for a participation certificate.
You are also welcome to join as an audience member!

Schoolhouse MUN 2025 - DISEC
Starts
Welcome to the Disarmament and International Security Committee (DISEC) sessions of the Schoolhouse Model United Nations 2025!
Schoolhouse MUN is an online Model United Nations event organized by a team of volunteers from schoolhouse.world. Delegates will have the opportunity to represent different countries in five distinct committees of the United Nations. This experience will enhance their understanding of current world issues and improve their public speaking, collaboration, and leadership skills.
Agenda: Assessing state-sponsored cyber warfare and its threats to international security
Developing international strategies to combat state-sponsored cyber warfare and take actions to restrict and de-escalate such issues to maintain international security
Chairs: Anshu P & Jack R
Overview of the Committee’s Agenda:
State-sponsored cyber attacks are malicious digital operations conducted by hackers who are either directly employed by a government or indirectly funded by it. Such cyberattacks are typically used to achieve strategic, economic, or military intelligence against the organizations of other nations. In addition to data theft, these cyberattacks pose risks such as the potential loss of infrastructure and disruptions to power grids.
Cyber attacks are common and can have a negative impact on countries, businesses, and individuals. Governments rightly recognize cyber warfare as a growing and real threat that can be initiated even by the smallest countries lacking conventional military capabilities. Often, the origin of cyber attacks does not clearly point to a specific state, complicating the situation further.
A few significant incidents in the past include Stuxnet, a malicious computer worm believed to have caused substantial damage to the Iranian nuclear program and often referred to as the world’s first cyber weapon; the SolarWinds attack (2020 United States federal government data breach); and the Lazarus Group attacks, including the Bangladesh Bank heist.
The Disarmament and International Security Committee (DISEC) is the First Committee of the United Nations General Assembly that focuses on issues related to disarmament, global security, and threats to international peace. As delegates, it is your responsibility to explore how, why, when, and to what extent DISEC can and must act. Engage in vigorous discussions, challenge each other's perspectives, and ask those hard-hitting questions. Through assertive diplomacy and united action, you have the power to confront one of the world’s most pressing issues.
Please note that each delegate must attend a minimum of three committee sessions to be eligible for a participation certificate.
You are also welcome to join as an audience member!

Agenda: “Maintaining International Cooperation and Peaceful Governance in Antarctica”
Creating policy to ensure international success, cooperation, and peace in Antartica, relating to the resource distribution, land claims, and environmental preservation.
Chair: Siddh S
Overview of the Committee’s Agenda:
Antarctica is often considered a barren land, but, recently, researchers, scientists, and nations alike have been interested in the potential of the region. Known for its scientific relevance to several fields such as climatology and physics, the region has been marked as a region of international scientific collaboration by the Antarctic Treaty with demilitarization.
However, in recent years, several geopolitical and environmental concerns have been raised regarding Antarctica. On the geopolitical side, territorial disputes and conflicts between the Antarctic Treaty and the Law of the Sea have resulted in further disputes while on the environmental side concerns about invasive species, illegal fishing, and climate change have been damaging the region.
Delegates will be debating, collaborating, and drafting resolutions to address these issues and maintain peace and stability in the region. All participants are expected to have researched this topic and their countries’ relation to it to a degree of being able to contribute to the session effectively.
Get ready for some chilling debate, delegates! 🐧❄️☃️

Agenda: Identifying and combatting gender apartheid and the systemic segregation of women
Investigating gender apartheid, its impact, and the ways through which it is facilitated, and creating strategies to counter the oppression of women across the world
Chair: Sarah W
Overview of the Committee’s Agenda:
Banned from public spaces. Prohibited from most job opportunities. Forbidden from pursuing an education at a higher level. These are only some of the countless injustices that women still face in certain parts of the world today.
Despite the many advances that have been made as society has progressed, gender inequality still runs rampant all over the world in ways big and small. Although in some places it’s subtle, an undercurrent of society, in others it’s systemic, embedded into the law. Enforced by those in power, those who should be upholding the responsibility of maintaining the wellbeing of their people. This is gender apartheid, gender-based economic and social discrimination enforced through physical and legal practices, and its impact is devastating, affecting mental health and economies and so much more.
The world cannot stand by and watch as gender apartheid continues to oppress women; we must take action. Your responsibility, dear delegate, is to investigate the reach of gender apartheid across the world, and to engage in thoughtful debate in the pursuit of creating solutions to this debilitating crisis. In the words of Agnès Callamard, Amnesty International’s Secretary General, “no one should ever be permitted to violate, segregate, silence or exclude people because of their gender.” Action must be taken, and it must be taken now.
Delegates, are you ready to bring justice to the women shackled by the chains of gender apartheid?
