FinMUN – Finnish Model UN Society
Finnish Model United Nations Society is an organization for students interested in international relations. We bring together people to organize and participate in Model United Nations (MUN) seminars, debate issues on the UN and global agenda, and develop their understanding of global politics. FinMUN was founded in 2004 and has so far focused on establishing a solid basis for Model United Nations (MUN) activities in Finland through building relationships with public and private sector contacts, namely the various UN representations and Affiliates in Finland. Cooperation with MUN societies is also a central feature of our work. FinMUN organizes annually the only University-level Model UN Conference in Finland. The FINMUN Conference is held each spring. The goal of our work is to bring together students with various backgrounds to organize and participate in Model United Nations (MUN) seminars. Other activities of the society are run throughout the year and include for example Edutainment evenings with expert guest speakers.
