International Student-Run Conference
Model United Nations of Nyborg (MUNNY) was first brought to life in 2010, when the first annual session was held, and has grown ever since. Now, MUNNY is one of the leading MUN conferences in Denmark, and has been expanding and growing every year, as we aim to welcome over 300 participants to Nyborg Gymnasium, in February 2018, to our eighth annual MUNNY conference.
With students from eight different countries, MUNNY 2017 started off with empathic speeches demonstrating a collective political responsibility. Already on the second day of our conference the students were debating across five committees of the general assembly plenary and four special plenaries, with the true spirit of MUNNY. During our social events we brought the students together, whether it was a shared laugh during stand-up comedy or common fascination for interactive stage hypnosis, unifying the multicultural environment. What we provide at MUNNY is an unforgettable experience - political insight, strong empathy, shared responsibility with emphasis on unity.
“Some very fine questions”At MUNNY 2017, the highly esteemed English Ambassador, Sir Dominic Schroeder, made a wonderful appearance and shared an insight into his life as a diplomat and ambassador. Later, the ambassador was delighted to answer some very fine questions, as he put it, from our participants. For MUNNY 2018, we are excited to be hosting some even equally, if not more, inspiring and insightful guest speakers.
