Message from the executive team:
Dear Delegates of ZISMUN 2026,
For us, MUN has been one of the most transformative experiences—a place where ideas, diplomacy, and diverse perspectives come together to inspire real growth—and we cant wait to share it with you. MUN isn't just about fun conferences, it is also a space where hesitation becomes confidence, and delegates become global thinkers.
​
What excites us most is how MUN blends learning with leadership. It challenges us to see the world through different lenses, to think critically, and to collaborate across cultures. Representing another country's hopes and challenges teaches empathy in a way few other experiences can.
​
As a student-led conference, ZISMUN is built on passion, purpose, and the belief that young people can lead meaningful change. Your participation shows a commitment to diplomacy, global issues, and constructive dialogue—and we can’t wait to see the ideas and solutions you bring to the table.
​
As delegates, you have the responsibility—and opportunity—to shape conversations with respect, curiosity, and a willingness to listen. This is your space to engage, to question, and to grow.
​
We’re thrilled to welcome you to ZISMUN 2026,
​
ZISMUN Executive Team
