WYMUN II: A Bigger Stage for Global Dialogue
WYMUN II: A Bigger Stage for Global Dialogue
The World Youth Model United Nations (WYMUN) returned this year with its second edition, and it was bigger, bolder, and more impactful than ever before. With the theme “The Changing World Order,” the 2025 conference brought together passionate young minds from across Beijing to debate pressing global issues and craft solutions for a better future.
A Growing Platform for Youth Voices
This year’s WYMUN saw remarkable growth:
-
200 delegates compared to 180 last year
-
8 committees instead of 5
-
13 schools represented, including leading institutions such as ISB, Dulwich College Beijing, Harrow Beijing, and more
Voices That Inspire
The Opening Ceremony featured a prerecorded message from Mr. Siddharth Chatterjee, UN Resident Coordinator in China, who reminded students:
“You represent the largest, most connected, most creative generation in human history. You are not only leaders of tomorrow—you are the leaders the world needs today.”
We also welcomed the Principal of Secondary School, Mr Robert Wang, for a powerful Welcome Address, setting the tone for collaboration and diplomacy.
Behind the Scenes
Organising WYMUN is no small feat. As one Secretariat, Donna Li, shared in the promo film:
“The most rewarding part is not just the number of schools that attend, but the genuine collaboration between people from different backgrounds—drafting resolutions and debating together.”
From researching global issues to managing debate flow, student officers and volunteers demonstrated leadership and resilience. As Coco Liu, Chair of the General Assembly 1 reflected: “Being a chair really enhanced my communication and management skills. You become extremely knowledgeable about world issues—finance, politics, economics.”
Why It Matters
Model United Nations is more than a debate club—it’s a transformative experience. Students grow in confidence, sharpen their linguistic skills, and learn to navigate complex global challenges. As one of the MUN Directors, Mr Ralf Mayenberger noted:
“At the end of the day, students say, ‘I made a speech,’ and they are so proud of themselves. That transformation is tangible.”
