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 Discovery Park - Canberra 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. 
 
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, an Expression of Interest (EOI) was published seeking responses from sponsoring Rotary Clubs, Districts, and schools. Responses have been received from 25 schools and Rotary clubs. 

 

In the week commencing 11 May 2025, we will be responding to the 25 schools and Rotary Clubs that lodged an EOI, inviting them to complete the registration process.  The links on the left side of this page have been updated and now include general frequently asked questions (FAQs), and FAQs for participants. Consent forms, a draft program, MUNA 2025 procedures, a country and bloc list, privacy statement and risk management plan are also included. 

 

Once registrations have been received (mid-June), ten draft resolutions for debate will be circulated to registered teams who will vote on which six resolutions they would like to debate at MUNA 2025. The remaining documentation for MUNA 2025 will be released iteratively and by mid-July will include the finalised program.
