The Queen's School Model United Nations Conference 2026

About the Conference

QMUN is the Model United Nations conference run by The Queen's School, an independent girls' school in Chester. This is the sixth edition, and the school presents it as a day for debating pressing global issues and building diplomatic skills. It takes place on Saturday 14 November 2026 at the school in Chester, England. Ten committees run in two groups, and debate is clause by clause. The school has also published a study guide for each topic. It suits school students who want a one-day conference with a wide range of committees, from a beginners' youth committee to the Security Council. The committees cover cyber conflict, human rights, biodiversity, tax avoidance and AI, and older student chairs from the school lead them.
