Model United Nations Assembly

 

In 2025, passionate debate will once again fill the historic House of Representatives Chamber at Canberra's Old Parliament House (now MoAD, the Museum of Australian Democracy), as the Rotary Club of Canberra Sunrise facilitates the Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA 2025).

 

MUNA 2025 will be held on 16 and 17 August 2025, with accommodation for participants provided at the Canberra Park Resort on the nights of 15 and 16 August 2025. 

 

Students from around Australia will travel to Canberra to debate United Nations (UN) Resolutions with fervour, conviction and with passion. Last year (2024), the Rotary Club of Canberra Sunrise was delighted to facilitate the Rotary District’s 25th National MUNA welcoming 44 delegates from 15 different schools, supported by fellow Rotarians, school counsellors, and families and friends. 
 
MoAD provides the perfect venue for debating the UN resolutions – a venue that was the home of our democracy from its opening almost a century ago on 9 May 1927, until the opening of our “new” Parliament House on 9 May 1988. 

 

On 27 January 2025, we will seek Expressions of Interest (EOI) from sponsoring Rotary Clubs, Districts, and schools. If you've previously registered a team with us, we'll email you the EOI form on this date. New registrants should provide their contact details to the MUNA Registrar as soon as possible. Complete the non-binding EOI form promptly after 27 January 2025, and no later than 31 March 2025, to facilitate timely arrangements for MUNA 2025.

  

Every endeavour is being made to maintain the fees associated with the event to as close as possible to last year's fees which were $1550 for a two-person team and $1850 for a three-person team, although increases are possible depending on the costs imposed on us by the debating and accommodation venues. Final fees will be advised when we formally seek registrations - it is likely that we will call for registrations in early May 2025, with a due date of mid-June 2025 for the finalisation of registrations. 
  

Interested Rotary Clubs, Districts and schools are encouraged to monitor this page for further information as it becomes available as planning for the event proceeds.

 

The documents for last year's MUNA (2024) can be referenced for information under "Archive Items" on this page. The documentation for MUNA 2025 will be released iteratively as the 2024 documents are revised and updated.
