London YouthMUN 2027
12-14 March 2027 at the London School of Economics and Political Science
organised in partnership with LSESU United Nations Society
Welcome Message
Honourable delegates and faculty advisors,
It is my honour to welcome you to the 3rd edition of London YouthMUN, organised by the London Youth Diplomacy Foundation. We are honoured to have the chance to organise (in my humble opinion) one of the best Model United Nations conferences in the country, with delegates and participants coming across multiple corners of the world. Together with the Secretariat, we are incredibly excited to host you in London, on the LSE Campus again in March 2027, as well as getting to know many of you over the course of the year as part of the YouthMUN Tour and other outreach initiatives.
More importantly, YouthMUN is very much a group effort, with our dedicated group of university student volunteers (Secretariat Members and the Chairing Staff), as well as our wonderful Assistant Chairs who come back to lead committees where they once connoted various speeches and strategies. We hope you will get to meet like-minded delegates, and we hope to learn about each of your stories and your innovative contributions to committee sessions (we’re sure of it). Do let us know if you have any questions!

Conference Fees
Standard Delegate Fees: £68 per delegate / Late Registration Fees: £78 per delegate
Please note that bursary schemes are available for eligible schools and delegates in need of financial support. For more details please refer to the Bursary Scheme below. Availability of the scheme is subject to internal and external funding from sponsors.
The delegate fee only includes to all events associated with the conference (including the London YouthMUN Ball) but does not include catering between committee sessions (e.g. lunch, dinner). Light snacks, canapes and drinks are provided for the YouthMUN Ball. The fee also does not include accommodation or transportation to the conference.
Assistant Chair Programme
The Assistant Chair Programme is a unique opportunity for Sixth Form students who have had previous experience in Model United Nations to participate in the conference free of charge as a chair. Assistant Chairs participate in a series of dedicated trainings, and get to work alongside university Chairs during the conference to gain exposure in research and leadership skills, as well as experience valuable in the University circuit.
Students who are interested in the Programme should be nominated by a participating delegation at the Conference (or apply individually), and pass an interview in order to join this year's cohort of Assistant Chairs.
Further information regarding the Programme will be available shortly, and applications will open on 16 November 2026 (Monday).
#MUNforALL Bursary Scheme
In line with the Foundation's commitment to expand access to those in need of financial aid, the Secretariat will be offering a tailored needs-based bursary scheme to eligible schools. The scheme exists so that cost is not the reason a school's students miss out on the conference.
Applications for the Bursary Scheme will open on 16 November 2026 (Monday), and details are currently available here:
London YouthMUN Tour
The YouthMUN Tour is a programme where members of the Foundation can come to your school to deliver a bespoke training workshop in order to prepare your delegates for the conference. Previous years included topics such as conference research, public speaking skills and technical skills such as the Rules of Procedure.
While the YouthMUN Tour runs complementary to the MUN Academy, please note that it is not a prerequisite that a school has to signup to YouthMUN in order to gain access to the Tour. Schools can request dedicated workshops using MUNConnect.
Committees in London YouthMUN 2027
For London YouthMUN 2027, our committees are organised in two ways: by cluster, which groups committees by subject area, and by difficulty level, which indicates the experience and academic support each committee is designed for:
International Security Cluster (ISC): peace, conflict, disarmament and collective security, such as DISEC and the UN Security Council.
Economic & Social Governance Cluster (ESG): development, health, food security and global economic cooperation, such as the WHO and ECOSOC.
Law & Human Rights Cluster (LHR): international law, justice and human rights, such as the UN Human Rights Council and the International Court of Justice.
Regional & National Bodies Cluster (RNB): regional organisations, blocs and national parliaments, from the African Union to the House of Commons.
Committees are divided into four difficulty levels. Younger students with plenty of MUN experience may be well suited to a committee one level above the guidance for their year group, while older students new to MUN will often feel more at home with their peers than in a committee of much younger delegates. Some committees are restricted to Years 9-11 delegates only:
A1, Beginner GA Committees: ideal for students attending their first MUN conference, typically in Years 9 and 10. Chairs will guide delegates through procedure step by step, and delegates will receive the most academic support.
A2, Intermediate GA Committees: suited to students who have attended one or two conferences, typically in Years 10 and 11, and are ready to take on more complex topics and a more active role in debate.
B1, Advanced GA Committees: designed for delegates in Years 12 and 13 who are comfortable with procedure, resolution writing and leading negotiations. Older students who are new to MUN are also very welcome here: chairs will be on hand to support them, and the maturity and research skills of Sixth Form students mean they often adapt quickly alongside more experienced peers.
B2, Specialised Committees: committees with distinctive formats, such as courts, crisis and national parliaments, are recommended for Sixth Form students. These often attract very experienced delegates, but are also a great opportunity for capable students keen to try something new.
Below is our indicative line-up of committees for London YouthMUN 2027, organised by cluster and difficulty level, which may change as preparations continue. Our Crisis and other Specialised Committees (B2) are always extremely popular, so we encourage interested delegates to apply early to secure a place. We will release the finalised list of committees and topics on 9 December 2026.
