K.U. Leuven Model United Nations Student Association is an independent student association in Leuven. Since 2010 we offer the MUN concept to students of the Catholic University of Leuven. Our goals are to promote the values of the United Nations, to increase public awareness about several topics which have an important value on the international forum and to stimulate active citizenship among students. Furthermore, we aim to strengthen the relations between the civil society and national and international authorities. We offer enthusiastic students the chance to develop their rhetorical and social skills in an international environment. Additionally, participation at KULMUN should improve the insight in international politics. Hereto, we organize monthly workshops and realistic political simulations and travel abroad to attend international MUN conferences, where one gets the unique opportunity to have fascinating discussions, expand their area of interest and explore global cultural diversity while meeting people from all over the world. KULMUN organizes its own international conference in March 2012. Apart from introducing students to the world of MUN, we encourage an atmosphere of friendship within the KULMUN society with a variety of activities. Serious and ambitious, with a lot of fun, to gain experiences and friendships to carry with us for the rest of our lives.
