We’re more than the conference.
LYDF organises annually the London Youth Model Untied Nations, the premier high school conference in the United Kingdom. The Foundation's external offerings are intended to give everyone an opportunity to engage with the fields of diplomacy and international relations, through dedicated learning platforms and policy challenges which run year-round.
MUN Academy
The MUN Academy is the Foundation's online-learning platform to promote self-directed learning in Rules of Procedure (for the conference) and relevant delegate skills. This is a free-of-charge, targeted resource which aims to ensure that everyone is on a similar staring ground prior to the start of the conference. Delegates can also seek dedicated support through the MUN Academy and gain feedback on their position papers and speechmaking techniques.
Development of the MUN Academy is expected to be completed by early 2026 and will be hosted on an independent learning platform.
LSE100 SDG Policy Hackathon
The SDG Policy Hackathon provides delegates with an opportunity to reflect on the implementation of a UN Sustainable Development Goal, culminating into a written report submitted and an opportunity to present their reform in front of a panel. Winners will be invited to present their findings at the London YouthMUN Conference. Students will also be paired with a university mentor to guide them. This Hackathon is presented in partnership with LSE100, LSE’s flagship interdisciplinary course for all undergraduate students.
Details of the SDG Policy Hackathon will be announced in end November and will run complementary to London Youth Model United Nations 2026.
Teacher Support Programmes
The Foundation is dedicated to provide support to teachers who deliver Model United Nations programmes in their own schools. Whether this is through setting up a MUN club, or bringing students to conferences, London YouthMUN offers a community of likeminded individuals where you can benefit from curriculum support and practical advice.
The Foundation is currently developing a Teacher Support Group and relevant curriculum advisory services, following the appointment of a Senior Trustee to the Board who will provide practical experience. Further details will be announced in 2026 regarding these initaitives.
