ROTARY CLUB OF CANBERRA SUNRISE (RCCS) SEEKS EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE MODEL UNITED NATIONS ASSEMBLY (MUNA) 2026
 
The Rotary Club of Canberra Sunrise (RCCS) is seeking expressions of interest (EOI) from Rotary Districts, Clubs and Schools to participate in the National Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA) event. 

MUNA 2026 will be held from the late afternoon of Friday 21 August 2026 through to 1300 on Sunday 23 August 2026.
 
If your Rotary District, Club or School wishes to participate in MUNA 2026, we ask that you complete a non-binding Expression of Interest as promptly as possible and no later than 27 March such that we can ensure that the appropriate arrangements are made for the conduct of this event. The EOI form can be found at https://form.jotform.com/260221190681853.
 
MUNA is not a fund-raising event for Rotary – it is conducted to provide students with a unique experience, debating other students in the House of Representative Chamber at Old Parliament House, now the Museum of Australian Democracy (MoAD). Every endeavour is being made to maintain fees as close as possible to last year's fees which were $1560 for a two-person team and $1885 for a three-person team, although a slight increase is likely. The fees cover accommodation at Discovery Park Canberra, all meals and morning and afternoon teas from Friday dinner to Sunday morning tea, bus transport to and from Discovery Park to MoAD on Saturday and from Discovery Park to MoAD on Sunday, and the costs associated with the MoAD venue including security and audio visual costs. Final fees will be advised when we formally seek registrations (advice will be disseminated in April 2026 once EOIs have been received).
 
Clubs, Districts or schools submitting this Expression of Interest will be consulted and kept informed of the plans for the event as they are finalised. Even though we are seeking your EOI, there is no obligation or commitment by your Club, District or School to participate until we have sought your formal registration in April. Supporting information on the website will be updated as planning for the event proceeds.

ROTARY'S MODEL UNITED NATIONS ASSEMBLY (MUNA) HAILED A SUCCESS AT THE MUSEUM OF AUSTRALIAN DEMOCRACY IN 2025  
 
On 16 - 17 August 2025, passionate debate once again filled 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 facilitated the Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA 2025).
 
Almost 60 students from 19 schools around Australia travelled to Canberra to debate United Nations (UN) Resolutions with fervour, conviction and with passion. 
 
MoAD provided 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.
