Cambridge Model United Nations 2027

About the Conference

Cambridge Model United Nations (CamMUN) is an international secondary school conference run by a student secretariat at Stephen Perse Cambridge, a group of independent schools in Cambridge. The 9th annual conference takes place at Stephen Perse Cambridge from 29 to 31 January 2027, under the theme A Changing World Order: The UN's Moment of Reckoning. Places are booked by faculty advisors for their school delegation rather than by individual students. There is no General Assembly format in 2027: every committee sits separately, and the European Council and UNESCO are new this year.
